Red Sleeping Beauty formed in Stockholm in 1989 by singer Kristina Borg,
singer/guitarist Niklas Angergard (Acid House Kings), guitarist Mikael
Matsson (The Shermans), and bassist Carl-Johan Nasstrom. They made a huge
impact on the international indiepop scene with two fantastic albums and a
series of singles and EP's. Their first release was in 1992 with EP "Pop
Sounds" (Marsh Marigold), followed by four 7-inch singles all on different
pop labels (Somersault, Motorway, Grimsey, and Sunday) before returning to
Marsh Marigold for the first full length "Bedroom".
They then signed to the legendary Siesta Records to release their fifth
single "Sick & Tired", their second album Soundtrack, and a compilation of
singles. In 2014, the band reunited in the studio to record "Just For Fun,"
an Alpaca Sports cover, as well as "Merry Christmas, Marie" as a special
holiday track. In 2015, pop fans rejoiced with their spectacular return to
vinyl with the "Always" 7-inch on Shelflife. In 2016, the band played the
Madrid popfest and released another 7-inch "Mi Amor", the band's first ever
song with a chorus sung entirely in Spanish.
Red Sleeping Beauty worked primarily as a duo on "Kristina" where Niklas
and Mikael took the reigns. Kristina was able to take part on vocals on
four songs. "The album is a tribute to her. She's had a tough struggle with
cancer over the past year, but things are looking brighter now. We expect
her back as a full time member on the next album", the band states. On this
album they've cultivated their love for electronic instruments and made up
strict rules for the recordings: they only use analogue synthesizers and
allow themselves to trim them with one acoustic guitar per song. The result
is a heartfelt mix of memorable pop melodies and timeless electronica.
Even though "Kristina" is the band's first album in 19 year's time, it
doesn't mean the members have been disconnected from making music all these
years. Niklas has released numerous albums with Acid House Kings on
Labrador while Mikael Matsson has released several albums with both The
Charade and The Shermans on Skipping Stones Records and Shelflife. But the
return is by no means a temporary one. Red Sleeping Beauty is back for
good.
