MP3: Syster Lycklig - Drömgränd
More Svensk postpunk for you in this week's Friday post, this time coming from the band Syster Lycklig. Petter Brundell started the band in the fall of '82 after leaving synthpunk act Ståålfågel (another band definitely worth checking out) and the new trio displayed a far more straightforward, pop-friendly sound. Straightforward compared to Ståålfågel, that is, though you can certainly draw comparisons between Syster Lycklig and other acts of the era such as U2. They certainly have that same kind of big, shimmery guitar sound 'cept that the track I'm featuring today puts it through more a weird, wind-tunnel effect. The way the echoes of delay resonate over the syncopated bass/drum line is simply fantastic. Even better, if you like this song, you can download the band's entire discography from their website (look under 'Lyssna'). How awesome is that?
