Dick Lundberg is a Swedish singer-songwriter that started in the early 90's, released a bunch of home recorded albums, were signed by Birdnest Records in the year 2000 and created his own label Dikotomi Produktion in 2010. Influences is similar artists like Ulf Lundell and Stefan Sundström as well as country singers as Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. Lundberg has always been driven by story-telling, a voice telling you his point of view, more ballads than upbeat songs. Some of the songs are political, others is stories from his personal life. Lundberg says: "I want to feel the words while singing them, they must hurt just a little bit or I'll rewrite them." In the studio he is often handeling all instruments himself, but now and then have friends as guests. He is also a part of the band Dick Lundberg & Misstro with multi instrumentalist Tomas Nilsson as the head producer. Live you can see Lundberg solo, with Misstro or with the band Solidariteten.

Radoka is an alter ego and a one man band of musical happenings from swedish singer/songwriter Dick Lundberg. All the songs was written, recorded and mixed in the moment. Retakes are few and second thoughts does barely exist. Some of the songs are cassette studio recordings, others is made with a computer. I love these recordings, but doesn't expect many others to appreciate them quite as much due to the lo-fi attitude. I give them to you anyway.

The blog (linked above) contains poetry, written in close relationship to the songs. If you're swedish speaking I suggest that you hear these songs from the blog for a better experience.

Det här spelades in under en galen tid 1995-1996. Dick Lundberg (som då hette Blomquist) skrev en del av musiken och spelade bas, gitarr och synth bland annat. Utrustningen var enklast möjliga, en 4-kanals kassettporta, en mikrofon, några av marknadens billigaste instrument och en trummaskin som aldrig lät som något annat än just en trummaskin. Men det fanns en skaparglädje som inte går att sammanfatta i ord. Håll till godo!
