Happy Easter!
Updated the site with a couple of newish reviews of the album, which by now also is available in the U.S.!
Please celebrate Easter with this brand new track from This Year's Model. It's called No More Easter and is from the first session for the next album. A bit of a rough mix but we hope you will enjoy it endlessly anyway.

Brand new year and brand new ideas. We will be back in the studio recording some songs Mid-Feb. Also Niklas and Henric will put out a new album with their group The Higher Elevations on the 21st February. 'The Protestant Work Ethic' is the title and please check it out at www.thehigherelevations.com
Looks like we will be back in Germany doing some shows this summer as well, but we are not really sure when. Hamburg will be included, of course, but we would also like to travel to new lovely places.

Brilliant review from Guitars Galore:
THIS YEAR'S MODEL - Greetings from This Year's Model
(7"EP, Marsh-Marigold, Simrockstr. 111, 22589 Hamburg)
The 4 tracks on this EP sound absolutely convincing! The guitars jingle and jangle, if they not just play strong chords. The "harmony singing" is wonderful, but never too sweet or exaggeratedly importunate. Simply beautiful! The songs of course are doing the rest. Hard to believe that this band is not resounded throughout the land, yet! That it is not running on all broadcasting radio stations on heavy rotation. No comparisons this time. This Year's Model are simply fantastic! (Rated 5 out of 5)

First album session's been completed and five tracks recorded - among them Picture This Ended, a collaboration with former Fidget guitarist Louise Weibull. Next session will be in February and a third to follow in early March.

Happy New Year from This Year's Model. Looking forward to 2006 with great anticipation. Cheers!

Got a POSTCARD from Niklas the other day: "I'm in Paris, having a great time visiting Ylva. Such a lovely city, lovely streets and a well needed break from everything. I really appreciate the lengthy walks and the nicest company. Some beautiful cemetaries, as well. Couldn't be better. Will be back soon to start recording the album. See you. XXX Niklas"
