Between 1992 and 2002, inspired by the 10 albums in 10 years from Felt, Acid House Kings released a trilogy of albums with one album released every fifth year. The first, Pop, look & listen! (1992) is maybe best left unmentioned. The band rate it 2.4 out of 5. On the second, Advantage Acid House Kings (1997), the aim was to make a The Smiths-for-very-sunny-days sort of album. This sort of succeeded, and the band rate it 3.8 out of 5.
In 2001, the band built their own, now famous, Summersound Studios. Here, Acid House Kings could
spend endless amounts of time to create the more sophisticated third album Mondays are like Tuesdays and Tuesdays are like Wednesdays (2002). Former guest
vocalist and present sister-in-law Julia Lannerheim was introduced as a full time member while Joakim Ödlund never showed up for recordings (his house was too far away from the studio). It’s an easy, breezy, beautiful album and the band rate 4.2 out of 5.
Spurred by the quality of “Mondays…”, Acid House Kings set out to break their own five years between albums record, while still yet again refining the meaning of pop music. The fourth album, Sing along with Acid House Kings (2005), is to date the crown jewel in the Acid House Kings catalogue and a should-have-been-in-the-Guinness-World-Records-book since it included a karaoke-DVD (yes, a karaoke-DVD) with the first 2000 copies. The press release stated untrendy is the new trend, while the music showed an unusual combination of sophistication and catchiness. The band rate the album 4.4 out of 5.
The newly-trimmed down trio of the Angergård brothers and Lannerheim released their latest effort Music Sounds Better With You in March 2011.

Acid House Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will not miss me
I want to go
From here to something
Something else
Something better
Something I can call my own
The snow is white and so are you
Christmas time
You have a warmth inside you
Tell me if
Your saddest feeling
Is when you hear
That I'm here for you
You're something else
Something special
Something I call my own
'Cause it's the sweetest dream
It's my weakest thought
This is the brightest light
Christmas time
The snow is white and so are you
Christmas time
You have a warmth inside you
The song "Christmas In" by Acid House Kings is a melancholic yet hopeful take on the holiday season. The lyrics talk about the desire to leave something behind and find something better. The singer wants to go from where they are to something they can call their own. The lyrics also reveal a sense of longing for connection and warmth. Christmas time is used as a metaphor to represent a time of hope, love, and togetherness. The snow, which is white and pure, represents a clean slate, a new beginning. The warmth that the singer feels inside the person they address in the second stanza represents the feeling of connection and belonging.
The song’s title and lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but one interesting theory is that the song is about leaving behind the past and embracing the future. The line "tell me if your saddest feeling is when you hear that I'm here for you" suggests that the singer feels like they are holding the other person back. The other person may feel obligated to stay because of the singer's presence. The lyrics then suggest that the singer wants to find their own way and set the other person free to pursue their own dreams. The chorus, with its joyful tone and imagery of snow and warmth, represents the hope that Christmas time brings. It’s a time of forgiveness, healing, and new beginnings.
