Twee/Post-Punk Labrador 2010
Download Clinging To A Scheme
2010 is shaping up to be a great musical year already, with great new albums by The National, The Hold Steady, Band Of Horses, Tree No Leaves, and lots more. There are even some great albums by smaller rising bands, such as The Radio Dept.
This is one band that should be watched, sonically they fall right between twee bands like Beat Happening and slightly electronic post punk music such as The Cure. Like any well influenced band, they blend these things together very well while maintaining a great original sound (see The Depreciation Guild, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, or most any great band ever).
The song here to really pay attention to is "Heaven's On Fire". This song is a great example of what this band can accomplish through great layering, great vocals, and respectable dynamics. I can see this song at a top of a lot of list of great songs of 2010.
Oh yeah, and they're Swedish and every Swedish band is amazing. Great music is coming out of that wonderful country.
For Listners Of: Melpo Mene, Kings Of Convenience, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Beat Happening, New Order, The Cure, The Mary Onettes, The Embassy, The Legends, Moscow Olympics
