, singer/guitarist and main songwriter Nicke Andersson was inspired to broaden the palette a bit, especially on two numbers in which he sings from the perspective of the people with whom he has issues.
“Beguiled” is about the neediness and destruction of internet trolls . “It puzzles me how people can get when they’re anonymous, and I wonder if we all have a streak of that or it’s a disorder,” Andersson says via Zoom from Sweden. He saw that firsthand in online comments about a side project, the multinational heavy metal band Lucifer, which is fronted by Johanna Sadonis. “The things that people would say about her were just…shocking. Justthings,” he offers. “She was targeted so much. Everyone thinks their opinion matters, but that’s up for debate.”
And “Tin Foil Soldier” is about a certain group of political conspiracy nuts/military wannabes who think they alone can “save” their country , Dregen , Kenny Håkansson and Robert Eriksson . Two years later came their debut record,! They released more records and toured the world. And along with the Hives, became thefaces of the burgeoning Swedish and Scandinavian garage rock scene, despite not sounding much like each other.
“'Garage rock' is a pretty loose term. But when people from Sweden get into something, specifically American pop culture, we’ve got an easier way of embracing it then, say, Germany,” Andersson says. “And we don’t dub things here, we have subtitles. So that helps learn a different language a bit better. Or maybe we’re just good at being copycats!”
