Combining the aesthetics of Kraftwerk with Motown girl groups from the 60’s and musical influences from Burt Bucharach to The Smiths, Acid House Kings have created a classic album of timeless pop perfection. True to their Swedish origin, the Kings cannot hide a certain debt to the stylish arrangements and crystal clear melodies of ABBA.

Editorial Reviews
Acid House Kings' "Sing Along With The Acid House Kings" is a little cheesy, yes, but they still manage to create some pretty unique, fun and catchy tunes. Comparisons to The Kings Of Convenience wouldn't be unwarranted, as it's relatively similar, but Acid House Kings tend to use more instruments and production (pianos, drums occasionally, etc). It's a very nice and mellow album which arguably loses a little steam towards the end (though it's all good, the first set of songs are great - a couple are a tad questionable (see "Sleeping")). Most will like the male vocalist, but the female vocalist isn't *as good* I would argue (she's still pretty good, but compared to him there's an obvious difference). The lyrics are also surprisingly fun and interesting (and occasionally emotional). I'm giving this "5" stars for four reasons - it doesn't really sound like any other band today, all of it's good, it's a pretty mellow/relaxing album and "That's Because You Drive Me" is just a great song. Most people will like this, pop fans especially. Highly recommended! If you liked this album then chances are you'll LOVE practically any Kings Of Convenience album. Highlights include: everything except "Sleeping"
