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.

I Just Called To Say Jag älskar Dig
Acid House Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The uninspiring bed, the late night TV dramas
Is it really me in a conference room?
The white board emptiness, the self-absorbed arousal
I'm missing pieces, don′t you?
And I just called to say jag älskar dig
And I just called to say jag älskar dig
And almost heartbroken
I just called to say jag älskar dig
Will you plan our escape from their dining room?
The all too perfect food, the shallow minds and topics
Please spend less time in your dressing room
The coordinated whites, the special brands we all wear
I'm missing pieces, don′t you?
And I just called to say jag älskar dig
And I just called to say jag älskar dig
′Cause in Swedish it sounds honest, sincere, heartfelt
And almost heartbroken
I just called to say jag älskar dig
The lyrics of Acid House Kings's song "I Just Called To Say Jag älskar Dig" deal with the theme of loneliness and dissatisfaction with superficial interactions. The first verse talks about the common experience of staying in a hotel room and feeling lonely while watching late-night TV dramas. The reference to a conference room adds to the feeling of disconnection as the whiteboard and self-absorbed arousal embody the tediousness of corporate meetings. The line "I'm missing pieces, don't you?" suggests that the singer is not the only one feeling incomplete.
The chorus, "And I just called to say jag älskar dig," which means "I love you" in Swedish translates the desire for genuine communication. The next verse addresses the topic of social interactions and the pretense of perfect dining tables and fashion brands. The suggestion to plan an escape highlights the feeling of being trapped in a superficial world where there is no real connection. Once again, the line "I'm missing pieces, don't you?" reinforces the idea that the singer is not alone in their feeling of incompleteness.
The lyrics of "I Just Called To Say Jag älskar Dig" are a poignant commentary on the modern-day experience of loneliness and disconnection from authentic emotions. It highlights how people often hide behind the façade of social norms and superficial interactions, leading to a lack of genuine human connection.
