Red Sleeping Beauty - Kristina (2016) lossless

Red Sleeping Beauty were part of the first wave of Swedish indie pop, musicians who helped establish a lineage whose influence can still be felt.

The band parted ways some time ago, but were recently drawn back into each other's orbit. Conversations were had, rehearsals were completed, and - before they were ever aware of it - Red Sleeping Beauty became a reborn entity.

Named after a McCarthy song, Red Sleeping Beauty match their forbears knack of cutting lyricism against beautiful melody.

New album 'Kristina' is their first in 19 years, and it picks up effortlessly from when they left off. The album title is a tribute to band-member Kristina Borg, who struggled with cancer but is now on the road to recovery.

Niklas Angergård explains: “The writing and recording process has never been more inspiring and 'Kristina' is about ten times better than anything we’ve done in the past. You’ve only just seen the beginning of Red Sleeping Beauty 2.0!”
