ANDRA BULLAR – I krig och kärlek... och Göteborg (Silence, 1981)


Swedish vocals, a cappella
International relevance: *

The first album was like a low-calory version of Röda Bönor, lacking everything that make Röda Böners fun to listen to, especially their humour and even self-irony. For their follow-up, rhey've lost the little enthusiasm they had which obviously makes for an even duller album. Not even Kenny Håkansson can save ”I krig och kärlek... och Göteborg” from being an insipid sign of a progg movement sorely losing steam. It's almost as if Andra Bullar didn't really believe in their own feminismist manifesto anymore which in turn makes me wonder if even their first album was a simply a gold-digger's attempt at political bandwagon jumping. Röda Bönor knew how to make me listen, Andra Bullar just knew how to make me want to turn it off.
