One can't help but wonder why hus has produced so many great bands in such a specific style. Everything originates from me and my brother Niklas and Joakim. We're in all the bands. Johan tells of how he in his high school years taped compilations of tweepop for his friends, tapes that were copied and traded all over town. They had a lot of Sarah bands on them.
Today there are ten shitty metal bands for every pop band.
But the hus scene lives on, though today almost all of the key players have left hus. Niklas Angerg rd resides in Stockholm with his band Red Sleeping Beauty, in 95 billed the world's second best by the readers of 'the indiepop mailing-list', a website on twee where Acid House Kings were newcomers of the year earlier. Club 8 was born two and a half years ago from the remains of Poprace, a shoegazing band with enough charm, with both Johan and Karolina in its ranks. After the sad demise of Poprace, the duo decided to carry on by themselves, writing and recording three songs for a demo and almost immediately signing with Spanish label Siesta Records. When I meet Johan and Karolina over coffee and gingerbread cookies a few weeks before christmas, I am struck by how young they are.
