Swedes Mando Diao are eagerly anticipating the Stateside release of their third album Ode To Ochrasy. Coming courtesy of Mute Records, the album is due to drop on April 24th.
Scratching your head about the meaning of the word "Ochrasy?" Mando Diao frontman Björn Dixgard describes it as "that hallucinatory world you enter around four and five in the morning... a sort of utopian world where anything can happen, where everything is allowed." The record is informed by their touring experiences and the strange characters that they've met on the road, and was recorder with help from Björn Olsson(Soundtrack Of Our Lives) and Owen Morris (Oasis, New Order.)
