Keeping up with our premiere week, we are teaming up with Dutch incredible artist The School Book Depository for the release of his new single “California,” a really catchy pop-gem with harmonious vocals and growing arrangements worthy the warm. The song is a nostalgic, retrospective review of a romanticized slacker lifestyle set in a sunny California on winding highways, beneath swaying palm trees.

But the single is also a sober conclusion that everything changes when our youthful dreams get interrupted by all the mundane activities of our adult, everyday life.

The song is a continuation of the song California​ by Wagon, Fredrik’s first band, released about 20 years ago. That song was sort of a semi-hit in some indie circles in Sweden at that time.

”I thought it would be fun to continue a fictional story written 20 years ago. It’s like archeological mind searching. What happened to the characters and how do I review my dreams and fantasies now compared to then? That old song also had a lot of pop cultural references and I liked the idea of bringing them back again from another perspective.”

The single will be followed by the second album from The School Book Depository this summer.
