Anton Svedbergs Swängjäng (sometimes spelt differently) was a Luleå based collective of musicians also
involved with other bands including Rekyl, Norrlåtar, Kornet and
Norrbottens Järn. With input from a whopping 36 members from such
different genres the music moves wildly between folk, rock, jazz,
progg, and singer/singwriter music. The style changes from track to
track and one could almost think the band's main purpose was to
confuse as many people as possible. Because of its entertainment
value mention should be made of their cover of ”Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band”, in Swedish with the original title
appropriately changed to ”Anton Svedbergs Swängjäng”. Best
track is the hard driving ”Den olympiska maskinen”. The album was recorded live and features some amusing between song banter (in Swedish).
A curio more than anything.
A live recording was also released as part of ”Progglådan”.
