"You have no reason yet to know about Hammarin & Robin. So I'll tell you, and then you'll listen and then - if you're anything like me - you tell everyone you know. Hammarin would be this guy putting on a club in Örebro. A lot of people did it, nobody did it the way he did. They didn’t even come close. He ran around dressed up in a costume telling everyone about the club and about his band performing at that club (which quite naturally was the pretext for doing the club in the first place). His band at the time was pointing in seventeen directions, all at the same time. The thing was, though: Hammarin was so loveable, so honest and so pure in his belief in pop music you’d still be swept away, completely knocked out just by the mere power of it. Hammarin moved shortly after that and we lost contact. Years later, this summer, I ran across him again when my best friend played Hammarin’s new music to me. I make my living on writing about pop music but I still can’t describe the sensation I had when I heard “Lingering regret” the first time. I feel humble to have my label be the one unveiling “Lingering regret” and “Hell knows I’m in love” to you. Humble and deeply grateful. Together with producer and long-time friend Robin, Hammarin now point only one way; straight forward." Joakim Johansson, Örebro 081006.
