Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commissioned by the Swedish national radio broadcaster, the Mael brothers' twenty-second album is a surreal, ambitious pop-rock opera. The narrative follows legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman as he is lured to Hollywood and confronted by the superficial demands of the American film industry. Utilizing spoken word, lush orchestrations, and their trademark wit, the band crafts a highly theatrical and satirical commentary on artistic integrity.
