Here’s the video for Swedish Avant-Popster Ceo’s Whorehouse. An infectiously catchy slick of quirky ElectroPop we featured back in November.
The video sees Eric Berglund indulging his madcap side and basically mucking around and dressing up.
Ceo’s Whorehouse is out now.

Well, we didn’t think we’d be hearing anything new from Swedish Avant-Pop act Ceo (The Tough Alliance’s Eric Berglund) again, he kinda’ went quiet after the release of his début album, White Magic, but here we are with a brand new single, and news of a forthcoming sophomore album titled Wonderland, on Sincerely Yours/Modular. the track’s called Whorehouse, and it;s Poppy, Catchy and hilarious.
Riding over a stomping beat and a cavalcade of blippy synths, Ceo rocks a Beach Boys vibe with his vocal arrangement, keeping things light and Poppy whist he laments that he’s ‘locked inside a whorehouse’. The whole track is a wonderful and playful mix of infectious Pop and an experimental attitude. It’s bouncy, fun and painfully intelligent. A contradiction that we aren’t going to argue with.
♫ Ceo – Whorehouse
Ceo’s Whorehouse is released 2nd December.

Eric Berglund from The Tough Alliance’s current project, challenging ElectroPop act ceo have dropped the video for their track ‘Illuminata’
The clip was directed by Marcus Soderlund, who tales a tale of night time competition to the funky Synth track.
‘Illuminata’ is taken from ‘White Magic’ which is out now.
ceo’s (Eric Berglund from The Tough Alliance) début album ‘White Magic’ is causing quite stir amongst those with discerning tastes and with good reason. Sure, at it’s core it’s ElectroPop, but it almost defies definition. I’ve honestly never heard anything like it, influences form World Music, Hip-Hop and a certain symphonic quality to ceo’s music make it a really special listen. I suppose you’ll either get it or you won’t, but if you do, it’s kinda’ infectious.
Anyway, those fine folk at Modular, in celebration for the release, are giving away this unused track from the album sessions. ‘Everything Is Gonna’ Be Alright’ would have fitted perfectly on the album, it’s a tribal escape from reality (with pan-flutes!).
♫ ceo – Everything Is Gonna’ Be Alright
‘White Magic’ is out now.
ceo is Modular’s new SynthPop signing and one half of Modular licensed Swedish ElectroPop act The Tough Alliance.
It’s so good to here some new, interesting Electro coming from the Modular house and the half of TTA that is Eric Berglund has carved a unique niche for himself in the ElectroPop field. Creative use of samples sets ceo’s music apart from the pack and the mysterious visuals will certainly keep people intrigued. Keep an ear our of ceo in the coming months.
‘Come With me is released June 7th followed by the album ‘White Magic’ on Modular Recordings, 28th June.
