![]() As with most things Ghost, if it sounds pretty, the lyrics will be extra nasty. It’s weird how some of our albums seem to follow their footsteps, but with that album we recorded somewhere before they did! And our third album, Meliora, was recorded in Benny Andersson’s own studio, which is where they made the new ABBA record. As an ABBA fan, being there was so wonderful. You’d play the piano and it would sound exactly the same as it did on Money, Money, Money, or try the marimba and it would sound like Mamma Mia. ![]() There’s a video on YouTube of them making Dancing Queen and it’s the exact same outboard gear, mixing console, microphones, marimba and piano we had around us. To make things extra nerdy, we recorded this album in Atlantis Studio in Stockholm, which is the old Metronome Studio – where ABBA recorded most of their hits. They’ve been an influence on our songs in general, maybe this one in particular. As a songwriter, I’ll always feel like I’m in the absolute shadow of their legacy because it’s hard to find such enormous talent and impeccably fine-tuned songwriting. I can proudly say ABBA are one of my favourite bands of all time.
