Swedish vocals
International relevance: *
Jemerton Jönssons apparently have some
'cult following', at least in the Skåne region which could be
explained by the fact they came from Lund. The band featured two
future music journalists, best known for their Swedish Radio work, Kalle Oldby and Stefan Wermelin. Wermelin was also one of the
guys behind the Musiklaget label that released ”Kaffesump och
kärlek” in 1975, as is one of his Musiklaget cohorts, album cover
designer Lasse Ermalm. One Agneta Klingspor also appears, and with
such an usual name, it's a safe bet that she's the same person that
later became an author and an art/literary critic.
Jemerton Jönssons released this album only, sometimes compared to Anna Koka Fem Ägg Jag Är Värd I Huset and
even Philemon Arthur & The Dung. While indeed a whacky acoustic
album, the comparisons may lead you to believe that ”Kaffesump och
kärlek” is a much better effort than it is. Don't fall for it. If there are any good
songs here, I certainly haven't found them beneath the thick layers of
contrived quirkiness and the outdated and simpleminded attempts at
humour. The album is very bad, plain and simple.
