Reflektorerna

Reflektorerna, also known as the Reflectors, were a Swedish rock band formed in Stockholm in 1980. The band is notable for their unique blend of post-punk, new wave, and electronic music, which was influenced by the synth-pop and industrial music scenes of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band's name, Reflektorerna, translates to "The Reflectors" in English, reflecting their interest in the reflective and often introspective nature of their music.

The band's lineup consisted of Mats Persson (vocals, keyboards), Lars Åberg (guitar), and Mats Ekström (bass). They released their debut album, "Reflektorerna," in 1981, which was followed by "Sånt är livet" (So That's Life) in 1982. The band's music is characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic beats, as well as Persson's distinctive vocals. Their lyrics often explored themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the human condition.

Reflektorerna gained a cult following in Sweden and were influential in the development of Swedish post-punk and new wave music. They were known for their live performances, which were characterized by their energetic and often chaotic stage presence. The band disbanded in 1983, but their music continues to be celebrated by fans and critics alike.
