Fresh Squeezed: Little Big Adventure

You can imagine that a musician who takes his moniker from a computer video game from the '90's would have a unique sound and Magnus Sätterström (aka Little Big Adventure) does not disappoint. When you hear him discuss his roots, you may be surprised at how far he has come. "Things turned when I took all my savings and bought a Casio-keyboard. Instead of writing boring guitar songs I could now play everything on this. I’m not exactly a skilled keyboard player so I recorded everything note by note and then cut it all together in my music program. To cover up all my technical flaws I put a noise filter on everything so that no one could hear the glitches between the notes, and no one could hear the noise from the microphone, as everything was noisy." That was five years ago, but the sound on his debut ep, The Hateful Eye, is still clearly handcrafted.

Magnus plays a form of disrupted and fascinating retro pop filtered through a damaged keyboard and skewed reality. Yet, it all comes together in the strangest way. The Hateful Eye EP will be released digitally on May 13th and physically on June 16th through Labrador Records.
