This bundle includes three albums by Amateur Hour, namely "Amateur Hour," "Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss" and "Krökta Tankar & Brända Vanor." All these three titles are pressed in a limited run of 500 copies each.

One of the most well-known names from the Gothenburg scene, Amateur Hour need no big introduction. Two very limited & very sold-out albums, 2016's Amateur Hour (FFFM) & 2019's Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss (Happiest Place), and a handful of cassettes & 7"s later, Amateur Hour is finally back with a magnum opus of an album - Krökta Tankar & Brända Vanor is the third full-length from this pillar of the Swedish underground, released on Appetite Records. At the same time, both of the previous albums are reissued for the first time - making two very sought-after releases available again.



Amateur Hour "Amateur Hour" (1LP)

The highly sought after debut album originally released through Förlag För Fri Musik, finally reissued! One of the finest groups of the new Swedish Underground featuring Dan Johansson, Hugo Randulv, and Julia Bjernelind.



Amateur Hour "Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss" (1LP)

"It’s like two halves of the same uncomfortable feeling. The strange but true meeting of the mawkish sweetness of indie pop and the psychically damaged acting-out of industrial and noise has a long tail. Moments of heartfelt song emerging from the murk of an Xpressway cassette, the wailing debris plus cute pop of Henry’s Dress/Black Tambourine/Sunny Sundae Smile era MBV, the whole Blackest aesthetic.. like a TG flash sewn on to a Marks and Spencer’s Cardigan, it’s a hard move to pull off. With this second LP (I missed the first one) Amateur Hour announced themselves to me anyway, as the modern masters of this balancing act. Real pop commitment, a TVPs cover and a song the really sounds like Rozalla’s Everybody’s Free, meet just the right amount of clang, clatter and hiss to produce an awkward classic. Sugar and vinegar in the same paper cut." - All Night Flight Records



Amateur Hour "Krökta Tankar & Brända Vanor" (2LP)

”Krökta Tankar Och Brända Vanor” is the first proper release by Gothenburg’s Amateur Hour since 2019’s ”Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss”. Julia, Hugo & Dan are no strangers in the Gothenburg Underground scene, and have performed in acts such as Westkust, Sewer Election, Enhet För Fri Musik, Makthaverskan, Typical Girls and Oroskällan.

This album stays true to the Amateur Hour formula, a mix of dreamy indie pop and harsh industrial soundscapes, all held together with wobbly tape loops and no-fi production. If the previous two albums had been the result of improvisational jams and songs made up as they were recorded, this album shows a more deliberate approach to the songwriting.
