I’d like what I write about here to have some context or at least some consistency or purpose. There are thousands of MySpace bands I could be writing about that I don’t/won’t (ie The Similou). A lot of what I post is rooted in pop. Sweden is the pop headquarters of the world. So the bands I write about or have written about are actually at the head of their class and well known in certain circles. Sure your average world citizen doesn’t know which band I mean when I type SKWBN but many of you do.
But my point is you shouldn’t know Axel Yngvell. There’s no context I or anyone other than perhaps his mother can shed on where, why and what makes Axel Yngvell tick. But these three songs from his MySpace profile reveal an artist with a fully realized if undeveloped/underproduced style. I’d like to say this guy is in a class by himself but that wouldn’t be true however add him to the top of the class of 2005/2006 (right there with Hello Saferide, Montt Mardie , and Don Agbai). So here’s two songs (visit his MySpace for the 3rd). Enjoy.
