Suddenly it was Gyllene Tider again. The new single “Chans” is here as a sunny foretaste of the upcoming album “Hux Flux” and the summer tour.

Per Gessle, Mats “MP” Persson, Göran Fritzon, Anders Herrlin and Micke Syd Andersson reunited last summer in the Sweetspot studio in Harplinge and when they were done they came out with eleven new Gyllene favourites.

The reunion started mostly by chance. In the winter of 2021, Gyllene Tider were in the middle of their sleeping beauty, which began after the farewell tour two years earlier. At the same time, Per was on a solo acoustic tour, which had to be postponed when new corona restrictions hit. He bought a new guitar, struck a fuzzy chord, got a feeling and wrote a few pop songs that just glowed with “Gyllene Tider”.

The first example of this is “Chans”, which has a classic Gyllene Tider sound with Göran Fritzon’s Farfisa organ as a guide. And as if that weren’t enough, it’s joined by another genuine pop stunner: “Sanna mina ord”, also taken from “Hux Flux”.

But how did it happen that a bunch of new and lonely Gyllene Tider songs could pop up in the middle of a quiet acoustic solo tour? Per says:

It’s probably a bit typical of my temperament. When I’ve played too much acoustic, I go nuts and just want to play power pop after a while. And a quick check with the rest of the band made it clear that everyone wanted to reconsider the decision to quit.

I think the pandemic changed everything. After it, everyone longed for a little security again, and that is easiest to find with friends and family, so starting to think about Gyllene Tider again was not that difficult. We realised that we weren’t done yet. And once we decided to do another tour in 2023, I started writing.

“Chans” will be released on 31 March and is part of the upcoming album “Hux Flux”, which will be released on 30 June. Once again, Gyllene Tider show that they are the band that takes the chance when it comes. Congratulations, Sweden – summer 2023 came early this year.
