The Teddybears are one of those typical music industry phenomenons. Plugging away at it for years (approximately 15 of them in fact), and then *BOOM* all of a sudden the hype building on them is everywhere. Or at the very least, it's all over the innaweb.
Their album - Soft Machine - which is essentially a re-working of an amalgamation of a load of their existing tunes, features guest vocalists abound such as Neneh Cherry, Iggy Pop, Mad Cobra, Elephant Man and Ebbot Lundberg (Soundtrack Of Our Lives) all making appearances.
The other shit you need to know?
- They're Swedish, (which means) they deliver mad pop tunes bubbling over with a mixture of electronics, rock, and disco.
- They're mates with Annie AND Robyn (in fact their mad tune Cobrastyle gets a spot on work out from Robyn below. Respect).
- All their press shots feature the guys dressed as crazy ass rock n roll bears.
- They've got a wikipedia entry ( I badly want my own wikipedia entry).
- You can buy the album via their website, but in the meantime download this little gift here.
