Ode to Ochrasy is the third album by the Swedish rock 'n' roll band Mando Diao and was released on August 25, 2006 . It is the first album where Mats Björke officially on the booklet - cover was visible.

In the album, Mando Diao processes tour experiences, for example in the song Amsterdam , which is about the Amsterdam red light district . Josephine is about a Swedish junkie girl in London. As with all other people (except for Herr Horst), her name has also been changed. The song Killer Kaczynski was written after a backstage conversation in Munich with a man who was allegedly planning an assassination attempt . Singer Björn Dixgård says of the song Ochrasy , the band always live on tour in their own world and the song IN QUESTION from drifting into the country Ochrasy that comparable to the Pepperland the Beatles had. He also compares the country to Astrid Lindgren's Nangijala . The song Good Morning, Herr Horst is about a homeless person from Hamburg who lives in Stockholm. They happened to meet him at night and he wasn't too smart to sing and dance for the boys.

The name Ochrasy is a neologism invented by the band . The band explained that this term best describes the sound of their music. For this reason, Mando Diao call Ode to Ochrasy their best album. According to their own statements, it is their perfect album, which exactly matches and embodies the sound and style of Mando Diao.
