Poprace - Hanggliding At Sea CD-EP
Genre: Indie Pop / Guitar Pop / Swedish Pop
Based in...: Sweden
Label: Marsh Marigold
Year: 1994
My Rate: 9/10
Poprace was formed in 1992 by the finest pop musicians from Sweden, Johan Angergard (Acid House Kings, Club 8, The Legends), Joakim Ödlund (Acid House Kings, Starlet), Karolina Komstedt (Club 8), Henrik Mårtensson and Anders Baeck (Starlet). They released only two singles, Hanggliding At Sea on Marsh Marigold in 1994 and Clear, in 1996 on Elefant Records. Hanggliding At Sea was a bit more tough for Marsh Marigold patterns so the EP had bad sales at the time wich was unfair cause the record features 4 great guitar pop songs and an interesting cover of Depeche Mode's Photographic, besides the fact that is good for us to know wich kind of sound they were influenced to. The band has made some gigs in Sweden and Germany then split up in 1996 before the release of Clear.
