Now Dad is back. But why did they end almost four decades ago?

According to Ulvais, when Dad retired after the album “The Visitors”, the recording studio there was “out of energy”.

– We stopped for creative reasons. We stopped because we felt we ran out of energy in the studio because this time we didn’t have as much fun in the studio as we did, says Bjorn Ulvey Evening standard.

He believes the group is not really divided.

– That’s why we said, ‘Let’s take a break. We never said, “This is it. We are divided and will never be reunited.
