"One of the biggest Swedish pop-hopes right now" – METRO "Immanu El is not only a project but - as sentimental as it might sound - an affair of the heart." – VISIONS "Immanu El excels in a myriad respects throughout. Absolutely brilliant." – IT'S A TRAP! "Album of the week (MOEN). The closeness of atmospheric pop is thesecret of Immanu El. They come they come!" – VODAFONE LIVE "Confronts the listener with a successful mixture of discreet stately parts and eruptive moments. We recommend MOEN for fans of well made experimental pop music." – ECLIPSED "If I think of Scandinavian postrock, Immanu El always belongs in the front row" – WHITE TAPES "Immanu El can sound fast, dynamic and graceful - by next moment it's hard and tearing, and sometimes even distressing. The trademark remains - the soft voice of Claes Strängberg gives Immanu El their distinctive touch." – UNCLE SALLY'S "Immanu El leaps over the threshold to the most talented quarters of postrock, where you can find a priceless presence. And they do it with heavy feet." – GROOVE **Know more about IMMANU EL** IMMANU EL is a Swedish band with a sound of dynamic guitar and keyboard soundscapes, captive singing and with somewhat of a moving Nordic presence. The music is focused at varying dynamics in a wide spectrum of harmonic expressions and moves between presence and ambience. Originally the band was inspired by early post-rock and experimental music combined with pop and indie-rock influences. The ambition has ever since the start in their mid teens been to create something captivating, beautiful and sublime - but the ways of achieving this have always been evolving differently. With 2 albums and more than 150 concerts in 25 countries for the last three years, the band has gained a growing reputation to be one of the most promising bands from Scandinavia today. IMMANU EL started as a musical experiment in 2004 by 16- year-old Claes Strängberg, soon joined by his twin brother Per and old childhood friends Michael Persson and Emil Karlsson. While studying in high school they started create music in an old barn outside the town of Jönköping on the Swedish countryside. The demo 'Killerwhale EP' was sold out and spread all over the world. After graduation the band signed with And The Sound Records, moved to Gothenburg and got two new members, David Lillberg and Jonatan Josefsson. Their debut album 'They’ll Come, They Come' was released the following year, 2007. And The Sound Records also released the band’s second album 'Moen’ in the end of 2009, with licensingand distribution partners all over the world. More tours followed in 2010/2011. IMMANU EL’s third album will be released in the fall of 2011.
