Viktor Sjoberg - Breakfast in America

200 only LP edition. Viktor Sjöberg was born outside Gothenburg, Sweden in 1981 and has been crafting and releasing vaguely popular music since the late nineties. In later years he has been travelling the world performing with Jens Lekman and this record was largely recorded during these journeys, featuring Lekman and many other of Sjöberg’s musical friends. Breakfast in America is based around a musical theme which was constructed by stealing some chords from a very famous pop song. It draws inspiration from the classic west coast AOR that Sjöberg grew up on and filters it through drone techniques, samplemanipulation and jazzy pop sensibilities. Breakfast in America tells a story of love. The setting is Anywhere, USA.
