New Music: The Jürgen Clubs – Daddy Was a Player

Copenhagen outfit The Jürgen Clubs tackle a serious and deeply personal subject in a sensitive and entertaining style on the indie-bop that is Daddy Was a Player.

The passion of the vocals and lyrics will move your heart and the frenetic, hook-heavy tune will get you on your feet, even as you come to comprehend how the events behind the lyrics have affected the band’s vocalist.

Says the band’s lead singer Magnus Grilstad about the track, “My dad passed away unexpectedly when I was just 16. He was a wonderful, eccentric, and fantastic guy – and also quite a ladies’ man. My dad had bipolar disorder, which sometimes made him do things that all of us around him couldn’t comprehend.

“After he passed, we had to go through all his stuff, and as me being the older brother, I was assigned to go through his computer where I found an extended version of the so-called ‘little black book’ and a photo folder full of spicy pictures of all the women in his life.”

Daddy Was a Player is out now and can be heard on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube Music.
