Brainchild of ex-Army of Lovers frontman Alexander Bard, the Swedish pop mathematical group Bodies Without Organs (better known as BwO) formed in 2003. The group came together when Martin Rolinski, a tennis participant who'd made waves as a finalist in Popstars, contacted Bard through producer Anders Hansson. Bard latched onto Rolinski, invited Marina Schiptjenko (once of Bard's previous project, Vacuum) along for the ride, and BwO were born. The group's name was derived from the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, a French philosopher whom Bard (a lecturer of philosophy himself) discussed in his 2000 rule book Netocracy. Starting with their 2004 debut, Image, BwO quickly rosiness to demi-stardom in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe; Epitome yielded seven Top 40 singles and went pt in Sweden. Their second album, 2006's Halcyon Days, went amber shortly after it was released, and the album's first individual, "Temple of Love," shot to number two on the Swedish charts. BwO performed at Melodifestivalen 2005 and 2006; they managed to arrive at the semifinals in their low year of competition, only to be trounced by fellow Swede Martin Stenmarck. The group released a cover of Alcazar's "Pull through My Pride" in early 2007, and a uncut album, Fabricator, was slated to hit stores in Sweden after that year.
