Levinarium, No.

I was a bit amazed to find out that I am such an old-school dinosaur and that most of my younger friends and colleagues have never even heard of the “Army of Lovers”.

Nevertheless they were so scandalous that their clips, back in 1990s, were banned even in England: morality, y’know.

It’s them who, among very few at the very beginning, were pedalling the topic of emancipation and free love. Not talking about flamboyant melodies and lyrics.

A truly international band from Sweden, they were a fresh storm over the European hypocrisy.

Watch the videos, too. They are inseparable from the rest of the image. Don’t try analyzing or understanding: this is what happens when you are absolutely talented and absolutely free.

Just yield to their unchained freedom, volcanic fantasy and omnivorous sexuality.

“Stand together straight and gay,
Sleep united night and day!”

Original title (English): Army of Lovers “Sexual Revolution“, “Plage de Saint-Tropez“, “Israelism
