Новый альбом Шведской синтипоп/Нью вейв группы!!
In 1981 the Electro punk group Cosmic Overdose reformed as Twice a man and became one of the first entirely electronic bands in Sweden. Dan Söderqvist & Karl Gasleben initially created reasonably accessible dark wave/synthpop songs, but with time they progressed into experimental & ambient domains. During the 90's the band became a project group, composing music for film, dance and theatre performances, audio books and computer games.
