International relevance: **
Finn Sjöberg was a member of Örebro's
Squareheads Blues Band in the late 60's before founding Kvartetten Som Sprängde in 1972. They released their monolithic classic
”Kattvals” the following year and they backed singer/songwriter
Bernt Staf on his ”Valhall” album, also in 1973. Kvartetten Som
Sprängde disbanded in 1975 and Finn Sjöberg turned to session work
for a large number of Swedish acts including ABBA.
”Finn” is his only solo album to
date and is disappointing to anyone hoping for a 'lost' Kvartetten
Som Sprängde album. Only album highlights ”Gånglåt från
Barrstigen” (clearly alluding to Kvartetten's "Gånglåt från Valhallavägen") and ”I Fatimas hand” have some strains suggesting
Sjöberg's acclaimed past – the lion's share of ”Finn”
is in a softer unimpressive jazz rock vein.
