Description
This award winning Swedish singer-songwriter has a long musical career. He started out in 1999 with The Thousand Dollar Playboys, who were financially backed by Peter Svensson from The Cardigans. 'LB' is his third album as a solo artist.
Born and raised in the typically northern working-class Swedish city of Sundsvall, Lars Bygdén had his first taste of playing music in his teens with two locally feted psychedelic rock bands both stylistically indebted to the baggy Madchester sounds. But the young guitarist was clandestinely cultivating a, then unfashionable, love for Americana.
From those embers The Thousand Dollar Playboys were born and a modest sensation that burned suddenly and brightly, before fading away almost as quickly. Bygdén's debut solo album 'Trading Happiness for Songs' was released to a warm critical reception in 2005. 'LB' is his third solo album.
The fact of it being produced by Tobias Fröberg - more closely associated with alt-folk and indie-pop than alt-country - also challenges common but imprecise perceptions about Bygdén as a musician. Sure, there are two duets with the golden-voiced Sharon Vaughan - a Nashville legend - but there are as many 'nods' to Pink Floyd's early psychadelia and to David Bowie. -
