Strasse – Följа John (Sweden, 1981) | FULL ALBUM

Strasse – Följа John Gothenburg, Sweden, 1981 electronic, synthpop, new wave, new romantic The debut album "Följa John" by the Swedish band Strasse, released in 1981, represents a compelling fusion of new romantic styles, all emerging from the early '80s underground scene of Gothenburg. The band's distinctive character lies in its ability to blend icy synth textures with a dramatic, almost theatrical vocal delivery – hallmarks of the Scandinavian take on new romanticism. The album explores themes of alienation, surveillance, and modern disillusionment, evident in track titles such as "Metropol", "Kamouflage (Du Tänder Mig)", and "Strassenräuber". Lyrics alternate between Swedish and German, reinforcing the band's pan-European identity and aesthetic. Although Strasse never achieved mainstream success, "Följa John" remains a cult classic among collectors of obscure Nordic synth music, offering a sharp, noir-infused vision of early 1980s Europe. The group also collaborated with Midge Ure, a pioneer of the new romantic movement, best known for his work with Ultravox and Visage. 1. Följa John [Follow John] – 00:00 2.
