Red Sleeping Beauty - Kristina

Facts Limited 10“ colored vinyl pressing. 2016 release from the Swedish twee pop band. Red Sleeping Beauty worked primarily as a duo on this first full length in 19 years, where Niklas Angergard (Acid House Kings) and Mikael Matsson (The Shermans) took the reigns. Original member Kristina Borg was able to take part on vocals on four of the 10 songs. "The album is a tribute to her. She's had a tough struggle with cancer over the past year, but things are looking brighter now." On this album they've cultivated their love for electronic instruments and made up strict rules for the recordings: they only use analogue synthesizers and allow themselves to trim them with one acoustic guitar per song. The result is a heartfelt mix of memorable pop melodies and timeless electronica.
