Review by Willem-Siebe Spoelstra

Ja Dä Ä Dä by Pugh Rogefeldt: A Wild Ride Through Psychedelic Folk-Rock Chaos Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Pugh Rogefeldt isn’t screwing around on Ja Dä Ä Dä. This 1999 album is like a garage sale of genres stuffed into a blender and set to “explode.” You’ve got your folk rock vibes, prog-rock noodling, psychedelic freakouts, and pop hooks sharp enough to cut glass. It’s messy as hell, but damn if it doesn’t stick with you. Take “Love, Love, Love”, for example. The track kicks off the record with this raw energy that feels like someone just handed Pugh a mic and said, "Go nuts." His vocals are all over the place—in the best way possible—and Georg Wadenius lays down some basslines so thick they could double as cement. What makes this song unforgettable? Maybe it’s how unapologetically chaotic it feels. Or maybe it’s because halfway through, you realize there’s no chorus, just Pugh yelling about love like he's trying to convince himself more than us. Whatever it is, it works. Then there’s “Här Kommer Natten”, which slaps harder than most songs from the '90s have any right to. This track has this eerie, haunting vibe, like nighttime creeping up on you when you least expect it. The acoustic guitar chills you out while the production (shoutout Michael B. Tretow) sneaks in these weird little echoes that make you feel like you’re walking through an abandoned forest. By the time the drums kick in, courtesy of Jan Karlsson, you’re fully submerged in Rogefeldt’s twisted world. And honestly? That’s where you wanna stay. Now, don’t even get me started on the repetition here. Tracks like “Dä Ä Bra, Dä Ä Fint” show up multiple times, but instead of being annoying, it feels intentional—as if Pugh’s daring you to memorize his mantra. Spoiler alert: you will. The credits tell their own story too. Everyone involved seems to know exactly what kind of madness they’re cooking up. From Lennart Wernström’s moody photography to Anders Burman producing the crap out of this thing, the whole package screams authenticity. No shiny polish, no radio-friendly compromises—just pure, gritty Swedish artistry. So yeah, Ja Dä Ä Dä might not be perfect, but who cares? Perfection’s boring anyway. This album grabs you by the collar, shakes you until your teeth rattle, and leaves you wondering why modern music can’t be this wild anymore. Oh, and fun fact: listening to this album makes microwave popcorn taste better. True story. Try it.
