Cats and Dinosaurs: The Shape of Swing to Come

Retro moods and attitudes are in abundance by the team of Johan Axelsson/cl-bs, Sofia Hogstabius/vi, Julia Schabbauer/dr, Tove Casen Nylander/b, Filip Bagewitz/voc-g, Christopher Ali Thoren/ts-ss, David Lopberg/key, Johan Benetjjon/banj and Fia Forslund/vib. The atmosphere is vintage 30s-40s swing, but the lyrics are modern, as Depression era sax sections and Batweitz’s hep voice take on “Male  Privilege” and have fun with a chorus on the two stepper “Work Less!” Christoffer Johansson adds lead vocals and guitars to a clever “Consensual Blues” and political issues get progressive (what do you expect from Milennials?!?) on “Socialize the Means of  Production.” Bernie Sanders with a baton?
