HEMLÖSA KATTER

Keeping up with their unpolished live-sounding aestethics, this is TRÄD, GRÄS OCH STENARs new and probably last album. Mainman Bo-Anders Persson has announced his retirement at an age of almost 80 years.

Mostly, this is remicient of their INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER days of minimalistic jamming but it's the more structured songs that shine here (even more so in the company of the noodle- tracks).

"Punkrocker" is a song by TEDDYBEARS originally released in 2000. It's already one of the most covered Swedish Rock Songs, TEDDYBEARS themselves having done two more versions.

"Summer Disco" is indeed a Disco instrumental but I was still surprised to hear it at a Stockholm nightclub.

"Wedding Reel" sounds more like another Swedish Prog group of the 70s, the newly resurrected KEBNEKAJSE.

"Pondering Wondering" is the only song with vocals (this time in Swedish) apart from "Punkrocker"

Of the jam-tracks, the mellow "The Most Beautiful Part of the Dream" and druggy "Unexpected Encounter in the Mushroom Forest" are the best.
