PUGH ROGEFELDT/PUGHISH MLP 15368 (-70) SWEDEN

For background check post on his debute http://monolover.blogspot.se/search?q=pugh . After that becoming an unexpected domestic success the same trio - Rogefeltd, Janne Carlsson and Georg Wadenius - went back to the studio less than a year later with producer Anders Burman and engineer Michael B. Tretow. As the story behind the album title goes Burman wasn't pleased with the lyrics and nagged Rogefeldt to write better. Under pressure he couldn't come up with anything at all and finally invented a new language -"Pughish" - consisting of made-up words and meaningless sentences, to go with the music. That can be heard in "Aindto!" and last part of "Stinsen I Bro". Further he made "Föräldrarlåten" work by blending English and Swedish lyrics with pitched in qoutes from Bo Diddley and a childrens song. Musically it reminds of his first, having improvised parts built around pre-set themes, but on a steadier ground with more elaborated songs. Even if I appreciate the freshness and atmosphere of the debute more, this is still an enjoyable psych/prog journey with lots of good guitars from Georg Wadenius. Favorite song - "Stinsen I Bro" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2dUZiyd1_g .
