Don't listen much at all to Swedish music, but I sometimes give this a listen if I want to cheer myself up:
Doesn't get more old school Gothenburg than that. Can't listen to it without getting visions of alcoholised communist dockworkers in my head.
kent kent kent! I know a lot of people here prefer metal but for anyone that wants more indie/alternative/synthpop/garage/stadium rock then kent have an awesome 12 album discography. I don't understand them either,
this site translates all the lyrics though.
Kent actually did English-language versions of their albums
Isola and
Hagnesta Hill early on in their career, but they weren't hits so they gave up on trying to go international.
Occasionally gave some of the earlier, guitar-based Kent songs a listen when I was a teenager, never cared much for the synth-based stuff they put out from
Vapen & ammunition and onwards though.
Listening to these three songs just now made me feel really friggin' old, it's been
20 years since the first one came out.
