this was another case of buying a single not really knowing what it sounded like, and picking it up on the strength of the credits as frans carlqvist aka pavan made a remix. i did know of the label, gaymonkey records, as my friend haakon vingelsgaard was set to do a remix for a song for the label but i think it was never finished.
"another night" is a great song and it is sort of an oddity in her catalogue. it was recorded and released between her two albums and it sounded a little differently to them. the songs to be found on her albums was electro-pop in the style of sophia rimheden. meaning proper electro music but also sung vocals in a traditional style, but it's not forced.
berg takes another step with "another night" as more live instrumentation is included in the mix outside of the guitars that is sometimes featured on her albums. saxophone in the shape of alto, tenor and bariton are heard. they are played by lina langendorff, nils berg and thomas backman respectivly. also featured is a trumpet played by mikko piirainen and a trombone played by magnus wiklund.
the brass instruments sit on top of the jittery computer sounds, round bass and compact drum machine sound that sara berg has programmed. berg's own vocals are quite bellowing but in the style of say someone like adele. her presence on the track is quite empowering even though she sounds lethargic at times.
i would say that i bought the cdsingle for the remixes but i like the original the most. but they are really good and on par with the original. pavans stripped downs chiptune version is amazing and melnyk's techno version is a great dancefloor version. simpletons traditional melodic electro version is nice but despite it's name of "night time", i see it more as homelistening music.
