Tim: This has been out a month or so now, but it only recently turned up in our inbox. Apparently, they’re a new Swedish band, this is their debut single, and there’s more information on their Facebook page (though actually there’s barely anything). I have no idea if they’re likely to be successful, but let’s have a listen anyway.
Tom: That’s… better than I expected.
Tim: And that is why we should have have a listen. It’s really rather good, isn’t it? I do love those long vocal notes in the chorus – really give the song a big, sort of, well, bigness, really.
Tom: Erudite, there, Tim.
Tim: Thank you very much.
Tom: It is a bit downbeat, though, and I think that’ll work against it; I’m not sure I’d want to listen to it all that often.
Tim: Ah, see I think that in a way that helps – having heard this, it’s hard to imagine a happy song with this sort of vocal.
Tom: Not sure about the classical guitar backing, either – I just keep wanting it to kick up a notch and it never does.
Tim: Could an album of downbeat songs work? Probably. Let’s see what they come up with next. Oh, but please let’s have a decent ending next time.
