+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
|                                                                            |
|  The time has come for the Swedish rock band Sugarplum Fairy to release    |
|  their third album. And the timing couldn’t be better. The band is         |
|  celebrating ten years in the game. It all started in a medium sized,      |
|  medium rough town in medium Sweden.                                       |
|  One day some young lads decided to leave hip-hop behind and turn to the   |
|  sixties, The Beatles and leather jackets. Lucky for us that they did!     |
|  In a cellar in the middle of Borlänge the five guys of Sugarplum Fairy    |
|  started dreaming of playing before big audiences and making it big.       |
|  Playing together for six years the guys were ready for anything when      |
|  they released their first EP ‘Stay Young’ in April 2004. And later that   |
|  year their first hit single ‘Sweet Jackie’ was released in Sweden and     |
|  soon after that the album ‘Young and Armed’ saw the light of day.         |
|  Their debut album gave them attention and success in Sweden for their     |
|  young, careless and cocky pop originating straight from bands like The    |
|  Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.                                  |
|  After touring this album and starting to understand what it was all       |
|  about it was time to release album number two, ‘First Round, First        |
|  Minute’. This album came with a band who had grown, been through the      |
|  real rock ‘n’ roll times and back and a band with more self-confidence.   |
|  This album took them round the world and Sugarplum Fairy gained new       |
|  listeners and fans everywhere. They toured and toured and showed          |
|  everyone that this is a band to count on, both live and on album.         |
|                                                                            |
|  And now two years later the five guys of Sugarplum Fairy are very very    |
|  proud to present their third album, an album they are more proud of than  |
|  any other.                                                                |
|  The work with “The Wild One” all started at Bambina Pizzeria, a pizza     |
|  joint in Stockholm. The five guys treated their producer to be, Ronald    |
|  Spremberg to the restaurants best pizza. Apart from being a great         |
|  producer that had already worked with the guys at on time before there    |
|  was something else that “sealed the deal” according to singer Carl        |
|  Norén:                                                                    |
|  - He has a great body with well-tuned muscles. We knew that he wouldn’t   |
|  be one of those fat, tired producers that wouldn’t have the stamina and   |
|  drive to keep going for weeks in the studio.                              |
|  Of course this is not the whole truth. Sugarplum Fairy weren’t looking    |
|  for a producer who would make their album sound like any of the bands     |
|  they like, they wanted a producer who would understand what THEY want to  |
|  sound like!                                                               |
|  Sugarplum Fairy describe ‘The Wild One’ as the most Sugarplum Fairy-like  |
|  album so far.                                                             |
|  -We have found ourselves now and we know what we sound like. It’s as if   |
|  we have worked ourselves out, says Carl Norén.                            |
|                                                                            |
|  - We want to convey a feeling of that we don’t care about what people     |
|  think about us. In some sense we have always been outsiders. And this     |
|  feeling is in the lyrics of ‘The Wild One’. While we where living in      |
|  Borlänge we didn’t fit in anywhere, so we moved to Stockholm thinking we  |
|  would fit in there. But no, and this has made us into what we are today,  |
|  says Carl Norén.                                                          |
|                                                                            |
|  Having this said it’s not a thematic album the Sugarplum Fairy have       |
|  released even though ‘The Wild One’ is evident in their lyrics, their     |
|  music and even in their image. The music is freer than before; the        |
|  song-writing brothers of Carl and Victor Norén have been braver this      |
|  time around. Fans will still be able to recognize the hooks and melodies  |
|  that Sugarplum Fairy do so well and new listeners will understand what    |
|  it is that has taken Sugarplum Fairy this far. The raw but catchy pop is  |
|  still there and the feeling of being outsiders is very present in the     |
|  lyrics.                                                                   |
|                                                                            |
|  These five guys have a reputation of making catchy rock songs and         |
|  delivering amazing live shows. They go their own way and have therefore,  |
|  appropriately, named their third album ”The Wild One”, of course taken    |
|  from the classic Marlon Brando film from 1953.                            |
|  This fits Sugarplum Fairy perfectly as they have always moved in a        |
|  different direction than what is expected of them.                        |
|  But with that said, some things are meant to stay the same: Still the     |
|  five friends from Borlänge, Sweden, still great melodies with a raw and   |
|  not to polished feel to it and still the song writing brothers Carl and   |
|  Victor Norén.                                                             |
|  So Sugarplum Fairy packed their bags and instruments and went to the      |
|  best recording spot they’ve ever tried out. In a secluded house in        |
|  Malaga with a pool, a ping-pong table, their own cook and plenty of       |
|  inspiration “The Wild One” found it’s form.                               |
|  So three weeks in a house together night and day can make even the best   |
|  friends get tired of each other. But these guys had the perfect medicine  |
|  for the harder times. Watching the arguments of the band The Troggs over  |
|  and over again always put a smile on their faces and kept them going      |
|  even when time could get rough.                                           |
|  So this paradise on earth was the perfect place to record the perfect     |
|  album. This was where the five guys in Sugarplum Fairy found their way    |
|  back to the friendship that has always been the grounds for the band.     |
|  Leaving the business partnership feeling behind and having the time to    |
|  play again.                                                               |
|  Sugarplum Fairy have shown once again that for every album released they  |
|  take several steps forward and grow and reach a bigger fan-base and       |
|  audience.                                                                 |
|                                                                            |
|  “This album is like a Sugarplum Fairy Greatest Hits. Every song is        |
|  strong enough to stand on it’s own. We never felt that before with any    |
|  album. On the last two albums the best songs carried the album in a way.  |
|  Now everyone is a star, it’s like an All Star Team.                       |
|  If the record company would allow us we should release 12 singles. We     |
|  don’t think they will, but that would be a great statement about how we   |
|  feel for this album.”                                                     |
|  -Sugarplum Fairy                                                          |
|                                                                            |
|  Never Thought I’d Say That It’s Alright - “People will probably say that  |
|  this is the most uncommon song on the album, but in a way it’s the most   |
|  “Sugarplumish” song of them all. We never have any limits when we write   |
|  our music, and we like so many different styles. It’s inspired by Bob     |
|  Marley and every time you hear Bob Marley you forget all troubles and     |
|  problems. I wanted to write a song like that, that just makes you smile.  |
|  Music shouldn’t be so complicated, sometimes a smile is enough.”          |
|                                                                            |
|  The Escapologist - “This is a dance song in a way. It hard not to stand   |
|  still when you hear it. It’s sounds like the Coral on speed. Plus I love  |
|  songs that start with a bass line. It’s a story about an escape artist    |
|  who starts to mix up his professional life with his love life. And it’s   |
|  inspired by the illusionist Criss Angel who was dating Cameron Diaz,      |
|  Paris Hilton and all these famous beautiful women. Is that a part of his  |
|  magic to get these girls? I think so.”                                    |
|                                                                            |
|  In Berlin - “The song in itself is very cinematic and so is the lyrics.   |
|  The melody is very intense and suggestive while the lyrics paints up a    |
|  picture of what is going on around the main character. A broken down      |
|  love affair in the middle of a town falling into pieces. It's about       |
|  leaving the past to be able to move on even if it means that you will be  |
|  alone.”                                                                   |
|                                                                            |
|  Caroline - “Caroline is written as an letter sent with an melody to one   |
|  Caroline. The melody is almost lullaby-like and maybe inspired by all     |
|  the beautiful Swedish traditional songs that I heard as a child. The      |
|  guitars and the piano follow the melody line while the song builds up     |
|  and breaks down several times in its four minutes. The song begins with   |
|  the sound of a train whistle to set the lonely feeling of the song. It's  |
|  a farewell song and suits as the last song on the album.”                 |
|                                                                            |
