Skebokvarnsvägen is a street in the Stockholm suburb Högdalen, and the address Skebokvarnsvägen 209 is the house where Thåström grew up in. Niklas Hellberg produced the entire record except "619 Kilometer", which was produced by Joakim Thåström and Per Hägglund. The album was also released on LP. The song "The Haters" is about Thåström's old punk band Ebba Grön, which was called The Haters from the beginning.

Critical reception

"Fanfanfan", the record's fourth track, became Thåström's first number one single. "Om Black Jim", about the author Dan Andersson, and "Sönder Boulevard" were also released as singles, and reached second and twelfth on the chart respectively.

The album topped the chart in Sweden, and won a Grammis in the category "Year's rock album (solo)". In June 2013, Sonic Magazine rated it as the 50th best Swedish album ever.[1]

The Luxembourgish music act Rome covered "Fanfanfan" on the 2016 album The Hyperion Machine.[2]
