The first album from this highly aclaimed swedish pop group came out in
1992, so I suppose it was about time to learn what Acid House Kings can
give for me. Well in 1992 I thought that bands like Metallica and Klamydia
were the greatest and at that time I would have probably hated Acid House
Kings. Now ten years later Acid House Kings is easily able to find a place
in my heart. Acid House Kings members are Johan Angergård, Niklas
Angergård and Julia Lannerheim. Both Niklas and Julia sing lead
vocals on the album and their voices fits nicely to this sunny and warm
guitar pop. The album is pretty faultless. Wistful 'She Keeps Hoping'
sung by Julia is the highest point of the album for me. Melodic sensibility
is all around, but the album still have quite an easy-flowing feeling.
Sweet pop hooks, warm sounds and well crafted songs. That's enough for
me. The latest album by Acid House Kings is another wonderful release
from swedish Labrador records.
