“Basically a one man project by the visual artist, as well as songwriter and musical artist, Erik Jeor, Shampoo & Champagne is the Kning Disk debut and the very first installation of Balroynigress. Here a Swedish-French trio, the group consists, apart from the Swedish third part Jeor (song, guitar, bass and synthesizer), of Bill van Cutten (song, drums, melodica and synthesizer) and Elvire Soyes (song).

The ten tracks on the album are characterized by performances that with justification could be described as economical and scaled down. The lesser format also applies for space of time, instead of longer excesses, the choice is consistently to rather let carrying ideas and structure, with an explicit focus on the wholeness that is Shampoo & Champagne, get its expressions in a concentrated form. Harmony and experiment partakes in a balanced unity; simple and fragile melodies of an almost sing-along type shifts to broken up, yet tranquil, excursions. Acoustic guitar, organ, bass and simple synthesizer arrangements creates room and light background tapestry for the poetic lyrics, often performed for two voices by Jeor and van Cutten.”
