Max Von Sydow is the alias of Joakim Åhlund, founder of 90’s electro-pop act Teddybears, garage-pop freaks Caesars and kraut space rockers Les Big Byrd among others. Max von Sydow is more of a sporadic experimental solo excursion, and he has previously released a couple of singles on Swedish labels Ingrid and Höga Nord for example. Here on his first release for Chimp Limbs he has taken the help of Gustav Ejstes from Dungen and Amason on flute and piano, as well as jazz prodigy Moussa Fadera on the drums. The A-side, Fuzzy Ghost, has a driving bass line and an almost Klaus Dinger-like motorik drumbeat as well as hectic flute work and ethereal piano by Ejstes. And the B-side, Acid Sweat is a Moog synth-driven piece which features nice tape-echo flute-work by Ejstes and an unrelenting funky drumbeat by Fadera.[info sheet from distr.]
