Various - The Sound of Young Sweden (Summersound) 1999 CD (Swedish Pop Collection #10)

 

There is something about Swedish pop bands. There is a sincerity about them. There is an element of innocence. I often call this type of pop as 'pure pop'. The Leslies' The Girl at Collins Ave is a great example. Pure, melodic bliss. These are some of the reasons why I bought that Swedish pop collection from my friend A.

This a compilation of young Swedish bands that came out in 1999. I do not know most of the bands on here, which include: Leslies, Happydeadmen, Acid House Kings, The Concretes, Edson, Shermans, and Club 8. Some of the bands have female vocalists which is always a favorite of mine. The Concretes' The Jeremiad is solid and captures that innocence that I mentioned above. The MVP of the album for me is Acid House Kings' Find Out for Yourself. Worth searching for this whole album.
