Eggstone
Eggstone is a Swedish Indie Pop band, formed in 1986. The three members - Per Sunding (vocals, bass), Patrik Bartosch (guitar) and Maurits Carlsson (drums) - were raised in the small coastal town of Lomma, outside Malmö. In 1991 they formed Tambourine Studios in Malmö with friends Anders Nordgren and producer Tore Johansson.
Their debut album Eggstone In San Diego was released in 1992, followed by Somersault two years later. In early 1997, they released Vive La Différence!, their third full-length album, on their own (and now defunct) Vibrafon label. Spanish Slalom, a compilation album, was released on Madrid-based Siesta Records in 1998 and a second compilation appeared in 1999 under the Tricatel label, titled Ca Chauffe en Suède!.
Eggstone's songs, light and poppy on the surface, disguise great subtlety in their conception and execution. The trio delights in strange shifts of tempo, harmonic clashes and pseudo-amateurish incidental noises, whilst retaining an easy seductiveness for untrained ears. All three members are accomplished musicians; Bartosch in particular who has developed a guitar style entirely his own, both faux-naïf and virtuosic. A fourth album has reportedly been in preparation since the late 1990s, with some sessions taking place under the tutelage of Tricatel owner/in-house producer Bertrand Burgalat.

Sun King
by: Eggstonehow did I catch that feeling oh boy
was it a movie or a telly show
I fell asleep dreaming of snow
and I awoke as it knocked on my door
postman came, dropped the post late in the morning
opened up and it was a package full of sunshine
read the note and it said "congratulations"
'cause you're the one who has won
a Supershine Suntan
and since that day I get my tan
from sleeping under an instant sun
it makes me feel like a superman
now I'm the king
the king of the sun
police man stop me saying, hey you
where did you steal that shoeshine boy
I don't believe in Jesus Christ
but if I meet him I'll be happy surprised
postman came, dropped the post late in the morning
opened up and it was a package full of Jesus
he stepped in and he said "bring in me some cheeses"
'cause you're the one who will now
be my super sunman
and since that day I get my tan
from sleeping under an instant sun
it makes me feel like a superman
now I'm the king
the king of the sun
postman came, dropped the post late in the morning
opened up and it was a package full of sunshine
read the note and it said "congratulations"
'cause you're the one who has won
a Supershine Suntan
and since that day I get my tan
from sleeping under an instant sun
it makes me feel like a superman
now I'm the king
