Pelle Carlberg

Searching the blogs for a fix of Belle & Sebastian, I found reference to Pelle Carlberg. I instantly put my musical stalking skills to good use and started to hunt him down to see if he could provide me with a much desired alternative to B&S. Will I be injecting him into my veins any time soon? Hell ya. His songs are like the vegan chocolate body paint I have been seeking for some time. To a large extent I agree with comparisons to early B&S. However I’d say that his high class approach towards his music is very similar to that of The Divine Comedy. Both groups are known for the witty lyrics and Pelle is definitely a source of dry humour and great word play.
