Pretty Keen On Centerfolds

SALLY SHAPIRO - He Keeps Me Alive

Ever been to a place that felt meh, only to return later and think, “Wow, did they secretly install paradise while I was gone?” That’s this track — a chillwave samba postcard from your brain’s lost-and-found department. 🌴💭

It’s got wind that whispers in Bossa Nova, sand that remembers your bad dance moves, and a rhythm that gently reminds you: maybe you were the problem, not the weather.

“So if you are coming around again…” — it’s not a threat, it’s an invitation. Bring sunscreen, low expectations, and your best regrets. The beat’s smooth, the mood’s warm, and somewhere between the maracas and the melancholy, you’ll start to grin for no reason.

🎶 File under: “Songs that make you accidentally sway in your kitchen wearing headphones and an existential smile.”

Lyrics:

Soft wind over empty ground,
I know this place, but not the sound.
Same horizon, different hue,
The air remembers more than you.

So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.
So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.

Stone turns warm where the sunlight lands,
Water moves between my hands.
Every echo bends in time,
Every shadow learns to shine.

So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.
So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.

It’s not the road that changed —
It’s how you walk it.
It’s not the view that fades —
It’s how you look again.

So if you are coming around again…
Coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.
Just come… around… again.

So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.
So if you are coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.

So if you are coming around again…
Coming around again…
You might find what you missed back then.
Just come… around… again.

So If You Are Coming Around Again

Calling Me (Eighties Remix)

Trampoline

Man I Need

Written and produced by Johan Agebjörn and Roger Gunnarsson. This remix (from the Beatport edition of "My Guilty Pleasure") dedicated to Fredrik Ramel.

Miracle (Swedish Remix)

Vinyl rip, just because this track sounds such better on vinyl, even in re-digitized form. Taken from the album "My Guilty Pleasure". Nicolas Makelberge cover, produced by Johan Agebjörn.

Dying In Africa [vinyl rip]

Written by Johan Agebjörn, produced by Tensnake. Taken from "My Guilty Pleasure" (Permanent Vacation / Paper Bag Records).

Moonlight Dance (produced by Tensnake)

Our first single. Pitchfork's #27 track of 2006, #235 track of the 00s
Taken from the album "Disco Romance".

"Agebjörn's pinpoint synth stabs, 8-bit drums, and chilly, melodic breakdowns wheedle goosebumps, but ultimately it's Shapiro's barely-there choirgirl vocal that sells this as a mislaid pearl from the 45 bin in the attic." Pitchfork (4.5/5)

"in every respect it is an utterly perfect slice of italo synth-pop"
Vice Magazine

"Maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever heard" Hanna Fahl, P3 Pop Sweden



I'll Be By Your Side

New York

New York (DJDS Version)

Taken from our first album "Disco Romance" (Diskokaine / Klein / Paper Bag). Written and produced by Johan Agebjörn. This track was suggested by Johan as the follow-up to the first single "I'll Be By Your Side", though in the end "Anorak Christmas" was selected.
