Instead of my usual blather for this week's Friday tune pick, I'm gonna let Troy Convers take a swing at things. Take it Troy!
Yes this is a love song. Arguably by one of Sweden's best pop song writers, Janne Kask. Front man Kask, formerly headed up Brainpool before walking out on the band in 1998. His first solo disc "Wrestling my case" flopped miserably. Ronald Blood produced it all and it still has its followers. Perhaps for songs like this one "Discovery", and others such as those on the "Summer is here" EP which featured the likes of Markus Slivka (Thirdimension) on "Dayton dogs" and Kask's sister Lena Kask. One of the things about the Swedish scene is the radio driven nature of everything. Kask is no exception. His music always bordered on the edge of being too commercial for the indie kids, but it never quite made it that far. A bit like Eskobar now.
Troy Convers believes 68% of stats are made up, drinks Lapin Kulta (weekends only) and thinks Franke are underrated.
