Popsicle

This Swedish indie pop outfit started to make a global breakthrough in 1993. The line-up originally comprised Andreas Mattsson (vocals/electric guitar), Fredrik Norberg (vocals/electric guitar), Kenny Vikstrom (bass) and Per-Arne Wikander (drums), who fulfilled on a college visit to Stockholm. They produced in the middle-80s and attempted several musical designs before building themselves as Popsicle in 1991. The boisterous, Anglophile music on Lacquer, specifically the brazen pop of ‘Hey Princess’, gained them a Scandinavian Grammy 2 yrs later, plus they briefly liked infamy upon its display. Norberg’s inebriated approval talk included a loss of life desire fatwa on Sweden’s Eurovision Tune Contest entrants of this season. Vikstrom was changed on bass by Arvid Lind with time for Abstinence, of which time that they had agreed upon an international documenting agreement with Telegram Information, an imprint of Warner Brothers Information. Particularly on the self-titled record, the listener is continually reminded how the band are performing within a international tongue; the mantric instrumental passages of paths such as for example ‘Third Opinion’ and ‘Soft’, nevertheless, are wholly fulfilling.
