The Swedish four-man army are still chewing string and blasting skins like there is no tomorrow. "Summer of dreams" is the new monster-album, which spans from licks of poisoned love and tunes of betrayal to the straight up decadence and real deal drinking the band are so well known for.
Here's 12 heart-stabbing new songs. A velveteen wall of sound whose hooligan choirs, bonehard delivery and pure attitude will take you on a ride to explore the lost tunes and forgotten guidelines of punkrock. Feel the lack of afterthought as The Accidents angel of wrath-army once again completely blow you away!
Lock-Sport-Krock was Sarcevic's first solo album. The title comes from the name of an imaginary football team that he and his brother pretended to play in when they were young. This album is noticeably different from Millencolin's punk rock sound - it is much more intimate and the genre of the songs varies from country music to soft rock to Folk Rock. The album also features a number of songs relating to the April 20, 2003 disappearance of his brother Miodrag.
Scandinavian Leather is rock & roll hedonism in its highest (i.e. lowest) form, combining the theatrics of Alice Cooper, the campiness of Queen, the degenerate glam of Motley Crue, and the urgent punk-rock spirit of the Ramones. Less punk than 1996’s Ass Cobra and more rock than 1998’s excellent Apocalypse Dudes, Scandinavian Leather is everything a proper rock album should be: there’s pomp (strings pop up on "Wipe It ‘Til It Bleeds" and again on "Fuck the World"), shout-along anthems (check out the driving, fists-in-the-air chorus of "Remain Untamed"), and even the occasional, self-indulgent guitar solo. Songs like "Sell Your Body (To the Night)" and "Train of Flesh" are dark and seedy, but the danger is cartoonish. Fortunately, this bunch doesn't make music to be taken seriously; they make music that rocks.
The album was produced by Ian Blurton, who previously produced Left and Leaving and Reconstruction Site for the band. Blurton has described the album as the band's most experimental to date, and guitarist Stephen Carroll told Uptown that the album features "lots of ambient stuff, tape loops, and some more keyboard than before".
