Lately I've felt starved on good pop music (read british pop music). It has taken me to extremities like purchasing Limp Bizkit and Slipknot. And to tell you the truth I've had it big time with American white trash revolting morons doing their utmost to shock a society I feel very far from connected to. What was I thinking of? And just when, in desperation, I started going back to my eighties favorites such as A-ha, Roxette and the alike, I stumbled over three albums of which this is one of them. This album is not new, as always, I'm the last one to hear a new album, but it is great. My friend described it as a more new age version of Neil Young (seems impossible), but I would rather refer to it as intelligent than some overdone LSD haze. The album has five tracks that really stand out, which is far more than average these days. They are all well crafted melodies, not too obvious or catchy, but they grow. The lyrics might sometimes be a bit too depressive, but hey I'm Swedish, I don't get them anyway. This album will definitelly be around in my MP3 player for quite some time.
Label: V2
Released 8th May 2000
