Pale As Milk on CD

This album was born out of spontaneity and Karl wants that to shine through in the entire production. The song writing is mainly charaterized by smart pop melodies rather than being bound by trends from a certain time. Something that makes the album difficult to place and define. Influences can be traced back to 80's pop music, while the approach to certain songs stem from indie guitar heroes such as J Mascis. But Karl Larsson is also an obvious part of a Swedish indie pop-tradition, alongside diverse bands as Popsicle and Fireside. A frustration that expresses itself in an almost impressing restraint. Larson's lyrics display a simplicity and straightforwardness that never comes close to trivial or boring, but that puts the focus and tone on a resolute, but never hopeless, insight of the world and the love between people. Bad Taste. 2005.
