If you didn't know it, twee is pretty goddamn big in Sweden, and Edson – Pelle Carlberg's band – are one of most adored bands in this sugary sweet genre. I never liked Edson, I always found them way too twee for their own good, but this solo EP from Mr. Carlberg has, after a few rounds in my CD player, managed to win me over. The main track got some brilliant lyrics where Pelle tells the story of how he calls a journalist because she's given him a bad review, only to be blatantly rebuffed and taken for being intoxicated (although he "wasn't even drunk"!). It's a nice little creepy song, and I like it a lot, and I'm not saying this because I'm scared that Pelle will write a song called something like "I hate you goddamn, Mr. Tagestam".
