Swedish powerpop punx Sekunderna are back with their new single “Se dig inte om”.
Se dig inte om is classic Sekunderna: a razor-sharp burst of melodic energy for fans of The Replacements, Martha and Husker Du.
The track title, a nod to Swedish Nobel laureate Eyvind Johnson’s novel (the follow up book to 1935’s “Här har du ditt liv” from which Sekunderna’s debut album borrows its title), blends literary references with raw emotion. This is an anthem about betrayal and self-deception, condensed down to two feelings, love and disappointment. It’s a big song, with bigger feelings.
Sekunderna are a four-piece from Umeå in Sweden, who combine the melodic instincts of Guided by Voices with the ferocity of Radioactivity and Ebba Grön. Their sound? Think glittering power pop riffs delivered with punk rock urgency—all sung in Swedish.
They formed in 2018, originally under the name Persona, to play punk rock inspired by the darkness of Ingmar Bergman films. Sekunderna (translation: The Seconds) refers back to short punk songs, counting down the seconds before you have to pause your dreams to go to work, counting the seconds until you fall asleep. They sing about the everyday issues in a late stage capitalist society.
Catchy, heartbroken, and totally alive—Se dig inte om is the sound of Sekunderna moving forward without looking back. Turn it up. Let it hit.
