New record from Fredrik Stähl - “Universally Personal” (Frukt Records, June 3)

Posted: 04 Jun 2009 10:18 AM PDT

I find that the music released by netlabels is generally more touch than go. The exception to that rule may be the small netlabel based in Gothenberg called Frukt Records. I’ve loved many of their releases and I think I can say the same for the new record from Frederick Stähl. It’s called Universally Personal and is best summed up by this description from Fredrik:

“Mixing a bit of catchyness with a bit of subtleness. Pop with a splash of electronica. The bitter with a large chunk of sweet.”

and

“It’s filled to the brim with heartfelt, yet catchy tunes, straightforward, but always with a twist.”

Here’s the song “Biblical Parenting” which does all of the above and a bit more (sampling):
