Symphonic pop-rock / glam disco · Stockholm, 1977
Starlight Cartel
Origin
Four nightclub session players who walked out mid-set at the Berns Salonger in '76 and signed a pact under the chandelier to never play anyone else's songs again. Two couples, one Hammond organ, and a standing reservation at every rooftop bar from Malmö to Munich.

What they sing about
- — Last dances and last trains
- — Love affairs across borders
- — Mirrors, chandeliers, and what they reflect back
- — Defection — leaving the safe gig
- — The long Nordic winter and the brief summer
- — Secret pacts and signed contracts
- — Dancing as defiance
- — Phone calls that come too late
- — The girl who left, the girl who stayed
- — Glamour as armour
