“You are the hologram queen, ageless and sweet, over 70” … after decades of hoping and wishing the mighty Swedish pop icons are indeed returning to the spotlight with a new studio album and a ridiculously ambitious virtual comeback tour. You have all the right to be annoyed but that … but you could also respect that decision. In the wake of the anticipated release NBHAP head and longtime ABBA admirer Norman Fleischer found himself reflecting on the bittersweet notion of this pop historical event.
A time of fundamental crisis tends to create impressive art and right now there’s an incredible amount of exciting new bands that take elements of previous independent rock incarnations and adds a modern twist to it. Maybe the age of creating band hypes is over but NBHAP author Norman tried it anyway and invites all fellow old “indie heads” like him to jump on this bandwagon.
