"The Odd Fiddler from Stockholm set hearts on fire with his melancholic reflections"
-Metica-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".an exciting voice"-YellowMelodies-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The last band on here is The Odd Fiddler, the only band not from Sweden (instead, they come from London) - let's just say that we never needed to leave the country…" -indiepages-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This Londoner via Sweden is named Pell and he has a unique look about him but musically I was initially reminded of Syd Barrett and then the Television Personalities (no surprise as TVP's Dan Treacy is a huge Syd Barret fan). Some real nice melodic moments on this one."
-daggerzine-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVIEWS FOR "I WROTE YR NAME ON A PUBLIC TOILET":
"I'm not even sure I like the Odd Fiddler, but Chewing Yr Bubblegum (Instead of Laughing At Me) is infectious. Everything about it is simple - the music, the childish lyrics (see: na na na)" -Enough Cowbell-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".led by a man merely named Pell. His brand of low fidelity charms can be highly reminiscent of the more fragmented Syd Barrett outtakes found on Opel, but is quite a bit more chorus-drenched and even a bit more sun-fried at times" -RetroLowFI-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".Heavily influenced by 80's music and the Beach Boys, The Odd Fiddler deals with issues of death, morality, and lost love. The Odd Fiddler crafts songs as lyrically forceful as Daniel Johnston, Leonard Cohen , and Joy Division."
-Fazer Online Music Magazine-/Shawn Alexander Roy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".it sounds like it may well have been recorded in the toilet of his East London flat. Whether or not you like your Swedish indie pop to be so bare, Pell's lyrics are deliberately naive and somehow tracks like "He Always Wear Waterproof Mascara" are hard to dislike. It's not even the novelty of the warbling Swede. It's just extremely likable…" ".If you're looking for the latest British pop sensation with the massive voice and sex appeal, this probably isn't the album for you. However, if you want some gaunt indie pop with burlesqued emotion, try this." You'll probably like it."
-Bluesbunny-/Peter McGee
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Odd Fiddler has an unusual appeal that is pretty much the definition of hit or miss.
Most listeners will consider this hackneyed and obnoxious, but to the daring lover of outsider music, I Wrote Yr Name on a Public Toilet will make for a rare and titillating treat." -Indieville-/Matt Shimmer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REWIEWS FOR "I DO HAVE SECRETS & YOU MIGHT THINK THEY ARE INTERESTING ONES":
".I do see some value in these unusual songs. It's as if they take you to a whole different world, where the Melodic Method is completely distinct from our culture's musical norms…",
"A few listens down the line, I still can't tell if Pell is an incredibly eccentric genius, or simply an outright hack…"
-Indieville-/Matt Shimmer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ABOUT A BOXER, ABOUT A FIGHT & ABOUT ALWAYS BEING 2nd BEST"
"Pell P. Arvidsson (aka The Odd Fiddler) has been busy. Not busy running errands. Not busy with some lame office job. Not even busy with his significant other (if he has one. not sure) He has been busy writing the some of the best pop tunes coming out of Sweden these days. and that is something. He sorta reminds me of Jens Lekman. sorta. Optimistic, saddened, lovely and tortured. This is simply a beautiful album full of beautiful songs."
-Scotch tapes-/AL
