Three-tune-Thursday: Swedish indie-pop Posted by Gargleman

Three-tune thursday this week revolves around Johan Angergård, a multi-talented Swede who has played in various bands, including Acid House Kings, Club8 and The Legends.

While the Acid House Kings material might seem a little frothy and insubstantial at first (see the above YouTube video for proof that it is even available in a karaoke version, I kid you not!) everything Angergård is involved in shows a lightness of touch and an enthusiasm for melody which just makes me really happy, whether it’s on the C-86 and fuzz-inspired tunes from his latest The Legends album, Over And Over, or on Club 8’s Jesus Walk With Me, which is sufficiently good that it briefly made me forget my rabid atheism and near-sexual love for Richard Dawkins.

They also get bonus points as a lot of their music is available to download (Well, their Acid House Kings and Club 8 material is at least). Plus extra bonus points for regularly working with the lovely and angelic-voiced Karolina Komstedt.

Club 8 – Jesus Walk With me – Jesus Walk With Me
