Watch: Johan Angergård of Labrador Records talks label love, music and Eurovision

Check out this great footage of Johan Angergård, owner of Labrador Records, as he talks through the history and future of the label in his Stockholm office. Responsible for launching the careers of The Radio Dept., The Mary Onettes, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names as well as playing in a bunch of the labels roster such as Pallers, Acid House Kings, The Legends and Club 8. Angergård is a true hero of Swedish pop culture; relaxed and informal, the footage here offers a rare glimpse into the inspiration and desire behind the label.

Watch out for the beginning of the clip as he hunts through the Labrador stock room – a place TLOBF had fun rooting through back in April during our visit to Stockholm. Also worth holding out for the moment Angergård starts mimicking Sweden’s 2011 Eurovision entry.
