acid house kings

小简介
Acid House Kings是瑞典第一支吉他独立流行乐队。在1991年三个年轻人，Joakim Qdlund（同时也是Poprace和Starlet的成员）Nikas Angergard（来自Red Sleeping Beauty）以及Johan Angergard（曾经是Club 8和Poprace的成员）组成了Acid House Kings，他们在德国著名独立厂牌Marsh-marigold旗下发行了第一首单曲play pop。从92年开始，Acid House Kings开始他们第一个十年的三部发展计划，音乐以简单易上口的吉他乐为主，加以全新的题材以及日益成熟的曲风。他们的第一步，就是92年在Marsh-marigold发行的专辑Pop, look & listen。随后就是他们94年发行的6首歌的EP，Monaco G.P. ，以及欧洲巡演。
三部曲的第二步，他们开始创作简单易上口的有质量有深度的作品（感觉好象用阳光夏日来代替孤独深秋夜晚的感觉）他们在美国Shelflife以及日本的Harmony发行了advantage Acid House Kings，在这张专辑里Julia做为客串歌手演唱了几首歌，这张唱片发行数量不多，而且很块就被乐迷抢购一空，现在Labrador正在重新发行这张专辑。
2001年Acid House Kings为了创作出更好的音乐作品，建立了他们自己的工作室，Summersound Studios。Joakim无法在工作室进行工作，因为他住的地方离工作室实在太远了，但是Julia却成为了乐队的一员。这年是创作高峰，他们发行了mondays are like tuesdays and tuesdays are like wednesdays. 这是近年他们制作最精良，销售最好的一张专辑。
乐队由Joakim odlund，Nikas Angergard，Johan Angergard和JuliaLannerheim四人组成。John大家都熟知了，是club8的男性成员。据说NikasAngergard和Johan Angergard是兄弟俩，你可以看看这张新专辑的封面，看看中间那两个人，看看他们长的象不象，我觉得长的是有点象。女主角Joakim odlund的嗓音非常甜美单纯。这种声音在中国的女歌手中找不到。Julia Lannerheim是在乐队发行他们的《advantage Acid House Kings》专辑时加入的。
据说是这样，john写的歌概括起来有两种，一种是温柔甜美的，另一种是活泼可爱的。前者基本上都给club8女性成员karolina唱了，后者则留给acid housekings。不过又有另一种说法，是karolina挑john写的歌，那些她不要的，就留给acid house kings了。。
acid house kings曲风上也是清新自然，舒适写意。整支乐队唱的歌其实就是在享受生活的点滴，那种没有目的的生活，随意的生活。他们的歌适合在清晨听，轻盈质朴的木吉他扫弦与爽朗明快的节奏，配上男女主唱交相辉映的浪漫演唱，立即能将你从昨晚的混沌中叫醒。也可以在夏夜里大树底下和你的恋人一起聆听。那会是人生最美的享受。
Acid House Kings is a Swedish indie pop band, founded in 1991 by Joakim Ödlund (also in the bands Poprace,  and Starlet) and brothers Niklas (Red Sleeping Beauty) and Johan Angergård (Club 8, Poprace). The band recorded their first songs that year and sent them only to one label, the German pop label Marsh-Marigold. A few months later their debut single “Play pop! EP” was released.
In 1992, Acid House Kings started a 10 year plan: a trilogy of albums with one album released exactly every 5th year. Each album was to be filled with catchy guitar pop songs but with new themes and a growing maturity from album to album. The first album in trilogy was the twee “Pop, Look and Listen!” released on Marsh-marigold in 1992. The album was followed by the 6-track ep “Monaco G.P.” and a European tour in 1994.
With the 2nd part of Acid House Kings album trilogy, the band wanted to create catchy quality pop (a bit like The Smiths for summmers days instead of lonely autumn nights locked up in your room). That album was “Advantage Acid House Kings”. The band changed labels for this album to Shelflife in the US and Harmony in Japan. On this album, singer Julia Lannerheim was introduced in the band as a guest singer on a couple of songs. The album was released in rather small quantities and sold out quickly. It’s now been re-released by Labrador Records.
