swedish indie-pop purists sad day for puppets release their eagerly-awaited debut album 'unknown colors' on sonic cathedral. the album includes the new single 'cherry blossom' as well as the universally acclaimed 'marble gods'. the 13 tracks on 'unknown colors' demonstrate the band's full range of influences and songwriter martin kallholm's seemingly effortless ability to write classic indie-pop tunes. so, as well as the obvious dinosaur jr and primitives influences of the singles, there is the hazy, mazzy star beauty of 'all the songs' and 'when the morning comes' and the dusty, mojave 3 heartbreak of 'withering petals and dust' and 'lay your burden on me', both of which feature lovely, languorous pedal steel. the most important influence on the album, however, is something much more simple: melody. 'unknown colors' (the spelling a comment on sweden's deference to american culture) first saw the light of day on small swedish label haha fonogram late last year, but the uk edition has a new cover and will feature bonus tracks 'when you tell me that you love me' and 'saddest cloud'.....release date: 01/06/2009
