Om du lyssnar noga
Hybris
Everytime I hear a new record released by Hyrbis, it gets me thinking that not only is Hybris one of the most ambitious pop labels on the planet right now, but also one of the best. Kalle J's full-length exudes masterful pop songwriting and tight song structures. Standout tracks include "Akademisk", "B.G.I.T." and "Burt Ward"; however, it'd be hard to claim one track to be the best, as the album is solid the whole way through. The songs have enough tempo to become hits in all of the discotheques, if not just in Sweden, but all the world over. I'm guessing that Nick, Jason and the IAT! DJs have been playing these tracks at Tack! Tack! Tack! and other festivals, but it is about time for other purveyors of electronic pop to take notice.
