Review by Gonzalo Moreno

BWO’s The Videos (2006): A Swedish Pop Gem That Still Glows Let’s cut to the chase—BWO’s The Videos isn’t just another pop album from 2006. It’s like a time capsule stuffed with glitter, heartbreak, and some serious synth swagger. Released under EMI in Sweden, this record feels like that one friend who always knows how to throw a party but still has something meaningful to say when you pull them aside. First up, “Temple Of Love.” Oh man, this track hits different. It’s got this brooding energy, like walking into a dark club where everyone’s dressed better than you but somehow makes you feel cooler anyway. The lyrics are dramatic without being over-the-top, and there’s this pulsing beat that sticks to your brain like gum on a hot day. I remember blasting it in my car late at night, windows down, pretending I was starring in my own moody music video. Cheesy? Sure. Did I care? Nope. Then there’s “Living In A Fantasy,” which is basically the musical equivalent of eating candy for breakfast—it’s sweet, slightly indulgent, and totally irresistible. This song screams early 2000s nostalgia, with its shiny production and those soaring vocals that make you wanna grab your nearest hairbrush and belt it out. There’s something so earnest about it, like BWO believed they could will us all into living our best fantasy lives just by making us dance. Spoiler alert: it worked. The rest of the album keeps the vibe alive—tracks like “We Could Be Heroes” and “Sunshine In The Rain” bring their own flavor, mixing big emotions with catchy hooks. Even “Sixteen Tons Of Hardware” sneaks in with its quirky title and leaves you humming along before you realize what just happened. But here’s the thing about The Videos: it doesn’t try too hard to be cool, and maybe that’s why it works. It’s unapologetically itself, whether it’s serving up emotional ballads or fist-pumping anthems. Listening to it now feels like rediscovering an old photo album—you cringe a little at the fashion choices, sure, but mostly you’re reminded of how fun things used to be. And honestly? If conquering America meant getting more people to hear stuff like this, then mission accomplished, BWO. Now excuse me while I go add “Temple Of Love” to every playlist ever.

About BWO

Swedish electropop group which was founded in the second half of 2003 by the musician and author Alexander Bard. Alexander Bard started work on a new music project during 2003, working with the record producer Anders Hansson who became the band's co-producer. They auditioned over 35 different vocalists before meeting Martin Rolinski who was duly chosen as lead singer. Marina Schiptjenko, an art-dealer and a one-time member of Vacuum, Bard's previous music project, then came on board as the third member of what became Bodies Without Organs. There was initially a suggestion that the band would be a four-piece including Jean-Pierre Barda from Army of Lovers, but this did not come to fruition, and Barda's explicit involvement extended only as far as co-writing BWO's first single "Living In A Fantasy". The name of the band derives from the philosophical term body without organs, developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari in their 1972 book Anti-Œdipus. Bard, an author and lecturer of philosophy, has referred to the ideas of Deleuze in his books Netocracy - The New Power Elite And Life After Capitalism and The Global Empire, both co-written with Jan Söderqvist.
