Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
With Sweden's Teddybears, big-beat electro pop is alive and well. Of course, the insanely poppy vibe of "Cobrastyle," with dancehall kingpin Mad Cobra setting up the "my style is the bomb" chorus, is the band's most recognizable episode--boasting and hip-swiveling and carefree. And even though the tune appeared in 2004 on the After the Sunset soundtrack, it's vital mood lighting here--setting up the infectious, airy pop of "Yours to Keep," with Neneh Cherry on vocals, and Iggy Pop's chugging paean to fashion and poise, "Punkrocker." Oh, it rocks. Only in Sweden could you find an electro-pop band--helmed by a guitarist from garage rock champions the Caesars--inviting Mad Cobra, Cherry, Iggy, and Ebbot Lundberg (from Soundtrack of Our Lives) to consort across 13 tracks. Ear candy in spots, the album is perfect for heavy rotation, melodic and then more melodic. By the way, Iggy and Ebbot sound awesome--elevating the tunes with their distinctive rock yowls and drawing attention to a band that's been toiling away on the fringes for more than a decade. It bumps, it jiggles, and it swirls psych-like. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description
Teddybears whip together a giddy mixed-up sonic mash of international styles, resulting in their own indescribably delectable sound. This CD sees the trio joined in studio by a number of truly unique collaborators, including Iggy Pop, Neneh Cherry, Elephant Man, Annie, and the Soundtrack Of Our Lives' Ebbot Lundberg. The result in an awe-inspiring collection of genre-hopping modern pop that is inventive, irresistable, and impossible to pin down. The Stockholm-based trio's effervescent pop has already been featured in a variety of films and commercials.
