Swedish five-piece Mando Diao is set to release its third album this spring on Mute Records. Ode to Ochrasy, the follow-up to 2005's Hurricane Bar, will arrive in stores on April 24. So what exactly is Ochrasy? Well, it's a term the band coined to describe the period in time between the end of one night's festivities and the beginning of the next day while on the road. Or, as frontman Björn Dixgard puts it:
"That hallucinatory world you enter around four and five in the morning. . .a sort of utopian world where anything can happen, where everything is allowed."
Now that we've got that out of the way, here's the track list:
