Bedroom Eyes' sophomore album Greetings From Northern Sweden was released in 2017, and was comprised of ten distinct sonic postcards, each one sent from and inspired by Northern Sweden's most desolate places. Wrapped in a shimmering soundscape that drew directly from its geographical heritage, Greetings From Northern Sweden went on to gather further acclaim and signal Bedroom Eyes' move into more deftly atmospheric and modern fare. Sisyphus Rock is Bedroom Eyes' third offering, and was recorded live in-studio at a rustic site in the woods of Rissna, Jämtland, Sweden. Balancing influences as diverse as '80s comedies, classic literature, and gritty '90s punk, Sisyphus Rock heads in a louder and rougher direction than its predecessors. Among Bedroom Eyes' fans is comedian Fred Armisen (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live) who was the first person outside of the inner circle to hear the album, describing it as: "great sound, great energy and wonderful songs." The song "Store Blå" (Big Blue) is in Jämska, the local dialect of Jämtland. A dialect few nowadays speak and is closer to Norwegian. This may be the first pop tune in Jämska... ever! Bedroom Eyes is: Jonas Jonsson (vocals, songwriting), Markus Eriksson (guitars, keys), Kim Fastesson (guitars), Emil Fritzson-Lindquist (drums), and Mattias Andersson (bass).
