Ceo – Wonderland

CEO – Wonderland (Modular People)

One of Sweden’s most remarkable exports is its music, and a few years ago it served as home to several acts that had perfected the art of making lemonade out of the country’s long and dismal winters in the form of bittersweet and sunny synth pop. Since then, most of these groups have disbanded, including Air France, Studio and the Tough Alliance. However, Eric Berglund, one half of the Tough Alliance, forges on with his solo project. The cover of Wonderland, his second album as CEO, depicts him adorned with neon flowers and face paint, mouth agape as if waiting to receive Holy Communion from some kind of Technicolor Jesus, and though the sublimely euphoric electropop it contains may not be able to turn water into wine, it can certainly transform a dull day into a festive one.
