The only proper release by this Swedish indie/new wave-ish group, Genre Hippy, released on Swedish label A West Side Fabrication from 1988. Their only other track was a one-off song that appeared on a Swedish compilation (of the same label).

Some Songs My Friends Wrote EP
(Translucence – [LUX007], 2003) [USA]




I believe this was a digital release only, but it's four cover songs of Hrishikesh Hirway, a.k.a The One AM Radio, Recorded at home, December 2002, in Los Angeles, CA. I used to listen to this all the time in 2003, and only recently re-found it, and absolutely adore anything by The One AM Radio. So delicate and sweet.
