Radiomöbel was a 5-man outfit from Lund, which is an old university town in southern Sweden. The members went on to other musical adventures after cutting two albums with this band, but did not receive much fame or fortune in any incarnation. The line-up is your standard rock'n'roll setting, but the music is pretty far from your standard rock'n'roll. It's ambitious, atmospheric, possibly progressive -- if it weren't for the fact that the band began recording (in a basement, no less) when they were still in a discovery mode; before the forms and ideas had ossified into some flawless King Crimson nightmare. No, Radiomöbel was a garage band on drugs, which is how a lot of great music has been created. The drummer isn't quite as good as he thinks he is which makes for a truly psychedelic fractional time displacement; the rest of the band sounds like they're getting the songs right for the very first time. The lead guitar explorations are full of curiosity and wonder, as though the guy has no idea where he is going to go next. Behind this a completely undistorted rhythm guitar puts you right into a high school assembly hall gig. Read more on Last.fm.
