CEO, WONDERLAND Posted: 04 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST Cranking his childlike vibe to 11 Like many of us, Eric Berglund, aka CEO, is stuck on childhood: The former vocalist of Gothenburg duo the Tough Alliance is now in his early 30s, yet still sings in a distinctly pre-pubescent whine. Many of his melodies recall kindergarten sing-alongs; his lyrics similarly suggest nursery rhymes, albeit ones, like “No Mercy,” that contemplate smoking crack. The catalog of his label, Sincerely Yours, which includes limited-edition music and apparel items like bulletproof vests, is numbered with the obsessiveness of an elementary student newly proud of his ability to create lists. Through it all, there’s a vibe, sometimes overt, sometimes less tangible but nevertheless felt, of aiming to heal what recovery programs identify as the child within.

ceo: "WHOREHOUSE" Posted: 26 Nov 2013 06:57 AM PST "Like hopping between neon glowing islands on a quad bike while being attacked by whirlwinds of shurikens too sharp to even hurt you mixed with flying kisses from fairy cheerleaders and all of sudden you hear the sound of laser you know and everything is white for like two seconds ..." The message accompanying the announcement of ceo's new album WONDERLAND goes on like this, but its's safe to say that Erik Berglund has a better grasp of his own music than any of us could ever hope to achieve.
