Classic Album Review: Peggen | My Fluffy Period

The Swedish popster teases you with snappy guitars and sweeping glam choruses.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Peggen is actually the nom du disque of Swedish popster Per Erik Gustav Franchell.

But for a one-man band, on this debut EP he sounds like two or three guys at least — specifically, Ziggy-era David Bowie, late-period Jim Morrison and even Warren Zevon howling Werewolves Of London. All of whom he seems to channel at various times during these five tracks of reflective, midtempo Brit-style pop laced with snappy guitars and sweeping glam choruses. This EP is meant as a teaser for an upcoming full-length; consider me teased.
