The Soundtrack of Our Lives - Origin Vol. 1Led by bearded, tunic-sporting, garage-rock guru Ebbot Lundberg, Soundtrack is the granddaddy of the Swedish underground invasion. The band’s last album, Behind the Music, established a North American beachhead, with a hit single, “Sister Surround,” that mixed influences ranging from The Doors, Led Zeppelin and MC5. But where Swedish bands like The Hives, Sahara Hotnights and (International) Noise Conspiracy keep things fresh, Soundtrack’s paint-by-numbers psych approach is beginning to wear a little thin.
