Song for a Gorgeous Blonde are three blonde Swedes (two boys, one girl) who reached out to indie artist Dino DiMuro to collaborate on electronica singles. We are Björn Eklund (keyboards, electronics), Lars Karlsson: (guitars, bass) and Anja Blomgren: (beats, percussion). Our band records in a Swedish studio and sends the raw tracks to Dino in Palm Springs, California where Dino mixes, masters and sometimes adds instruments or sounds.

Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?

Finding somebody in the U.S. to take us seriously. Dino was not our first choice but he’s having fun with our sound!

We are new to recording but we have two singles, a remix and a new upcoming track
Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
In English “SeanSrum” means Seance Room. The track begins a bit gothic, then brings romantic strings, a Martin Denny middle section and finally a rock outro.
Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
We will continue to release new singles through DiMurotapes as long as they will have us!
