The Girls Want The Boys: Sweden’s Beat Girls, 1966-1970

Various Artists, “The Girls Want The Boys: Sweden’s Beat Girls, 1966-1970” (Ace, 2016)
Comp of female-fronted Swedish pop and rock sounds, with more emphasis on the rocking force behind the boppin’ beat than in the French yé- yé-girl counterpart/archetype, but with that light-and-shadow dramatic sweep between major and minor keys that has always been such a distinctive and pleasurable aspect of Swedish pop. Indeed, you could almost imagine this as the common point of origin of ABBA, the Rude Kids and MZM (all Scando-classics).
