Review by Mister Green

Lolita Pop – Lolita Pop: A Wild Ride Through 80s Sonic Bliss So, here’s the deal—Lolita Pop by Lolita Pop is one of those albums that feels like it came straight outta a neon-lit time machine from 1987. It’s got everything: rock grit, synth-pop sparkle, punk attitude, and pop hooks sharp enough to stick in your brain for days. Released across a bazillion countries (Sweden, UK, US, Japan—you name it), this record really tried to take over the world. And honestly? It kinda did. Let’s break it down. The genres are all over the place—rock, electronic, pop, new wave, punk—and yet somehow, it works. Like peanut butter and pickles, you wouldn’t think they go together, but dang if it ain’t delicious. Tracks like “Calling In The Rain” and “Trains Of Longing” are where the magic happens. These songs aren’t just tunes—they’re experiences. Take “Calling In The Rain,” for instance. This track hits hard with Karin Wistrand’s vocals soaring over Per Eriksson’s drumming and some killer saxophone work (yes, saxophone!). There’s something about the way the synths swell underneath the melody—it sounds like heartbreak wrapped in glitter. I mean, who doesn’t love crying in the rain while feeling secretly badass? Every time I hear it, I’m transported back to my teenage years, sitting on a bus with headphones on, pretending life was way more dramatic than it actually was. Then there’s “Trains Of Longing.” Oh man, this one gets me every time. It’s slower, moodier, packed with longing and atmospheric vibes. The layered production is nuts—shoutout to Stefan Glaumann for mixing and mastering wizardry. You can tell they spent hours tweaking tiny details because nothing feels out of place. Benkt Svensson’s guitar riffs add this haunting edge that makes the song feel cinematic. It’s like watching an 80s movie montage where the protagonist stares wistfully out of a train window as fields blur past. Cheesy? Maybe. But also kind of perfect. What strikes me most about this album is how ambitious it feels. With so many contributors—from Dag Lundquist co-producing to Margo Chase designing the artwork—it’s clear everyone poured their hearts into it. Even little touches, like Idde, Irma, and Pim adding backing vocals on certain tracks, give it a sense of community. It’s not just an album; it’s a team effort. But let’s get real for a sec. Not every track lands perfectly. Some moments feel a bit chaotic, like when you accidentally mix five different sodas at a gas station fountain. Still, even the missteps have charm. They remind you this isn’t some soulless corporate project—it’s raw, unfiltered creativity spilling out everywhere. Looking back, Lolita Pop feels ahead of its time. Sure, it’s very much an 80s kid, complete with big hair and shoulder pads, but its blend of styles predicted future trends in alternative rock and synth-heavy pop. Listening today, it still holds up surprisingly well—not bad for a bunch of Swedes trying to conquer Europe and beyond. Here’s the kicker though… after spending hours diving deep into this album, I realized something strange. Despite being called Lolita Pop, none of the lyrics seem remotely connected to Vladimir Nabokov or anything remotely controversial. Was this intentional? A clever red herring? Or maybe they just thought “Lolita Pop” sounded cool? Who knows. Either way, it worked. Final verdict? If you’re into retro sounds, wild genre mashups, or just wanna soundtrack your next existential crisis, grab a copy of this gem. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming about riding trains through rain-soaked landscapes. Grade: 8/10

My fav band when I lived in Sverige! (Electric Boys broke that year as well) Too bad they didn't break out bigger. Fab songs and musicianship!

I had a cassette tape of hers, wore it out. It was unfortunate that she didn't get more air time here in the states. Really good artist.

EU AMO LOLITA POP. CADÊ VOCES???????
Träffade Karin Wistrand på en fest för några år sedan och fick en selfie. Jag var väldigt ung när de var som mest aktiva så har dålig koll på deras musik, men tycker absolut att den håller än. Mycket bra. Lite föregångare till The Sounds, känns det som. Karin var hur trevlig som helst. Hursomhelst, selfien vi tog är den enda gången min förra flickvän säger att hon blivit lite svartsjuk. :)
Love this!! ?
