"2008 was something of an artificial pause in BWOs otherwise intense story. A schema focused on an omnibus album and a tour recap created plenty of room to write new songs and develop new visual ideas. The result of this extensive work is the band's new and fourth studio album "Big Science", which is also BWOs' first album for their new home, Bonnier Music. "Big Science" contains twelve new songs along with 2 remixes form a album of 14 tracks. BWOs permanent fourth member Anders Hansson has like previously been the driving engine of the studio work. Bard and Hansson have contributed as songwriters and producers on all tracks on the plate. Besides Martin and Marina, they have also had great help in the studio of a studio collective made up of Felix Persson, Märta Grauers, Henrik Wikström, Johan Fjellström and Fredrik Kempe. The result is a multifaceted electro opus, which brings to mind both to contemporary models as The Killers and Fischerspooner, but also to the classical models Electric Light Orchestra and Tamla Motown. The first single and video from "Big Science" called "You're Not Alone" and is also BWOs contribution to this year's Melodifestivalen. "You're Not Alone" is written by Fredrik Kempe, Alexander Bard and Anders Hansson and published both as a ballad and the whole nine uptempo dance versions. The video is directed by Mark Johnson from Kamisol. "You're Not Alone" presents a new sound from the BWO to herald the new direction of the course "Big Science" and is a tangible proof of Martins targeted development of an internationally recognized voice in the popworld. Expect, however, no less than to "You're Not Alone" is only the first pearl in a band of hitsingles from "Big Science", a second single already released in the summer and single # 3 will early in the autumn. "
