Babian –
Heja Dom Som Vinner! (Heptown Records)
Swedish rockers Babion (translated: Baboon) hit a
range of different styles (and decades) on their third album, from ‘60s
fuzz-rock and ‘70s FM pop, all the way to ‘90s grunge - not to mention drum
machines and the orchestrations on “Östersjöns vida vatten”.
Needless to say I don’t have a clue what they’re
singing about. It could be a dozen songs about puppies and lollipops for all I
know, though I suspect there’s considerably more to them than that. I hope so,
because they make a fine noise and I’m growing quite attached to both these
cheeky arctic monkeys and “Heja Dom Som Vinner!”
Just so you know, these are my favourites: “Ung Man”,
“Peter Pan”, the fore mentioned “Östersjöns vida vatten” and of course, not
forgetting “Om inte nu så när?”
For more details, learn Swedish.
