Sista Bossen and the wide eyed psychedelic punk allure of "Ett Mönster"

 

"from their upcoming album PINGPONG!"

There is something particularly alluring about "Ett Mönster" by Swedish punk band Sista Bossen. There is the whimsical factor, the quirky factor by what gets to me in a big way every time I listen is the beautiful guitar shapes, dressed in psychedelic ways, the absolutely art rockish synergy of all the players, and frontman, Hampus' wide eyed, tip toeing around dark corners vocal aesthetic in his native Swedish dialect, ‘Scanian’ (‘skånska’). Some very artistic creators flashed in my brain as I listened to the gorgeous surreality of "Ett Mönster" from Pavement, to Sparks to Radiohead, to Tim Burton to Sparklehorse, to Pulp, to Motorpsycho.

 "Ett Mönster" is from Sista Bossen's upcoming album "PINGPONG!"

Sista Bossen never does anything by the book. Having excelled in hard-hitting, dangerous and oftentimes humorous punk rock songs on their previous two albums, the band is known for writing songs that are extremely compact. The term “all killer - no filler” comes to mind. The tunes are usually fast-paced and short, managing to pack in wordy lyrics delivered by lead singer, and wild-house of a frontman, Hampus, in his native Swedish dialect, ‘Scanian’ (‘skånska’).

Both Roskilde and Spot Festival in Denmark have discovered Sista Bossen’s amazing live show, and put them on the bill in ’18. The band has previously been compared to Honningbarna (N), bob hund (SE) and Flaming Lips (US), but when it comes to arty but unassuming indie/Scandinavian speed punk/torch songs, there’s no-one like Sista Bossen.
