About this item

Sweden’s celebrated 90s indie rock darlings EASY have announced the impending release of their new album “Radical Innocence” via A Turntable Friend Records. The album was recorded and produced by legendary Pat Collier in his London studio in October 2019.

In the early 1990s, EASY was one of Sweden’s most notable indie groups. This year marks the 30-year anniversary of their highly acclaimed debut “Magic Seed” album (originally released by Blast First UK, in 2017 re-issued by A Turntable Friend Records), a critical success that spawned three alternative chart hit singles, “Castle Train”, “He Brings The Honey” and “Horoscope”.

The group also frequently toured Britain and mainland Europe including prestigious support slots with The Jesus and Mary Chain, The House of Love, Lush and The Charlatans (whose Tim Burgess is a fan of EASY). While the ambitious “Sun Years” LP (1994) had less of an impact, singles “Never Seen A Star” and “Listen To The Bells” clearly demonstrated that the band had taken several musical steps forward. The perfect combination of Sonic Youth-like intensity and the sweet harmonies of The Beach Boys.

’’Scandinavia’s answer to The Smiths, the new single from music stalwarts EASY goes down every bit as easy as their seminal album (MagicSeed) three decades ago, attesting to their continued significance to listeners here and now ’’ – Big Takeover Magazine.

‘’Imagine if the House Of Love had not been brought together in Camberwell..but had instead formed across the North Sea in Sweden’’ – Dancing About Architecture.
