1. Hem
The creation of music committing itself to a certain roughness and party-compatibility, that is the new creed of the first 12"-vinyl by Laine. Positioned between disco-house, electro-pop and in some moments even a plain touch of indie-rock, you will have a whale of a time enjoying the outcome.
As always the Austrian-Swedish trio continue to thump synthesizers, comps and all sorts of different effects. And there is no lack of vocals - the fine voice of Kristina Lindberg blends in with dirty basslines, guitars and strongly distorted sounds.
The two remixes by "Transformer di Roboter" from Berlin and "Parov Stelar himself" make "Hem" an extremely entertaining 12" - a rough club-sound record to rock to.

When Kristina LINDBERG left Sweden and arrived in Austria she did not know that she could sing, and now she also speaks perfect German. Always on the search for beautiful female voices, the producer Clemens and Stefan PICHLER based in Linz/Austria discovers Kristina’s talent. In next to no time they find their way in their home studio which soon serves to become Kristina’s second home. Here they work with electronic sounds and it was that tendentious soft, warm and organic sound, which touched her.
At this point the producers Michael and Peter HORNEK join the crew.
The first results where released on the TRES:CIEL Sampler Volume 1 in the year 2002.
Two years later LAINE presents 11 tracks gathered on their first album Deep Down Low (2004, Scream Records/Ixthuluh). The firstling moves itself between Downbeat, Trip Hop and Drum 'n' bass.
