Issued in 1972 by MNW Music AB, "Grönt är skönt" is a sparse yet potent artifact from Sweden’s early 70s progg milieu. Charlie & Esdor condense their stoner metal and rock impulses into just four tracks, blending the weight of psychedelic riffs with a distinctly Swedish hue. The record’s modest footprint—fewer than 2,500 Last.fm scrobbles—belies a certain roadside allure, a soundtrack fit for highway cruising beneath Scandinavian skies.The title track “Grönt är skönt” exemplifies their approach: a heavy, languid pulse layered with fuzzed guitar tones and a subtle psychedelic swirl. This brief record captures a niche moment where metal’s heft met the exploratory spirit of progg, offering a rare resonance for collectors interested in Sweden’s underground rock lineage.
