Sweden’s Club 8 was on a roll for a while. Over the course of five years around the end of the century, the duo of Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergård put out four albums and three EPs of material, gaining them a cult audience in the States around the time record labels like Kindercore and March were leading the indie pop brigades to ever bigger audiences. And then, almost as suddenly as they appeared on the scene, Club 8 vanished. Their absence probably did little to speed up the decline of fey, unassuming indie pop; with the collapse of Kindercore and the resurgence of loud guitars and electro, indie pop didn’t stand a chance. Nevertheless, Club 8’s sudden exit was yet another sign of the twee pop apocalypse.

“Whatever You Want” is another vintage Club 8 track, at first blush. All the basic elements are there—Komstedt’s cool vocals over light electronics and perky acoustic guitars make for a effortlessly breezy sound and an endless summer vibe that serves as Club 8’s trademark. Like most of the Club 8 songs I find, I had no idea which album “Whatever You Want” came from, but I assumed it was from somewhere in the late 90s, around The Friend I Once Had territory.

But “Whatever You Want” isn’t a decade-old track from a mostly forgotten Swedish pop band; it’s a new track from an upcoming album poised to take advantage of the new surge of interest in Scandinavian indie pop. In typically unassuming fashion, the band quietly noted they were finally working on a new album after years of silence, and then just as quietly popped the new track onto MySpace. If this is the start of another five-year burst of energy from Club 8, then Scandinavia lovers should be in for quite a treat.
