International relevance: *
The
great looking album cover with its folk rock private pressings
vibe led me to believe that this perhaps would be something as
uncommon as a decent A-Disc release. Well, it is a bit folkish, mostly covers with mainly acoustic instruments, and it isn't one of A-Disc's very worst.
But good it's certainly not.
Some tracks are potentially OK,
especially a couple on the first side, but what could have been better in the
hands of some more spirited combo is effectively asphyxiated by
annoyingly twee harmony vocals. Myglarna seem to have taken their
cues from commercial harmony groups of the 60s and early 70s such as
Marie Bergman's Family Four, a style that was hard to endure to begin
with and definitely outdated by the time ”Du liv” was released.
Some typical Social Democrat marching music find its way into the
yawny blend of styles but even they sound weary.
Drummer Johan Dielemans was previously in Folk Blues Inc.
