Artist Biography
by Tim Sendra
After the breakup of their band
Poprace, singer/guitarist
Niklas Angergård and his bassist brother
Johan joined up with guitarist
Joakim Ödlund and formed the Swedish twee-pop trio
Acid House Kings in 1991. Initially inspired by their shared disappointment over the breakup of
Felt and common dissatisfaction with
Morrissey's
Kill Uncle
album, the trio began crafting a innocent and simple brand of pop.
Signing to the German label Marsh Marigold, the group issued its debut
EP, Play Pop!, in early 1992, followed later that year by the
full-length Pop, Look & Listen! The group's rediscovery of childhood
favorites
the Pet Shop Boys informed 1994's Monaco G.P. EP; disappointed by the record's lack of chart success,
Acid House Kings maintained a low profile for the next three years as the
Angergård brothers worked on other projects (
Club 8 for
Johan,
Red Sleeping Beauty for
Niklas), finally resurfacing in 1997 with the single "Yes! You Love Me."
Advantage Acid House Kings was released the next year on
Johan's Labrador label.
