Tim: Timoteij have been off for a while, during which they’ve misplaced a member, but now they’re back with this, which happens to be their first English track, and not all that bad as it happens.
Tom: And they still sound like an old brand of shampoo.
Tim: It wouldn’t particularly surprise me if the video was a case of “let’s go somewhere sunny because it’s cold in Sweden right now and we can write a holiday off against taxes”, but I see nothing wrong with that if something like this comes along as a by-product.
Tom: I was briefly convinced it was all done with bluescreen, but no: they actually appear be there. Although just a reminder: deserts get cold too.
Tim: A nice dance/pop track, and who can dispute the fun factor of an accordion, especially when it’s basically as big as the person playing it? I do wonder with stuff like this though how they decide which instruments to have on display and which not to – with no disrespect to the member involved, I’d imagine she didn’t learn the accordion as a child, so if you’re going to pick one at random to learn just enough to give a convincing impression, do you just pick it out of a hat?
Tom: Hey, it’s not like they shipped a laptop and a drum machine out there.
Tim: Anyway, that’s hardly important; basically, good track, and a nice video with plenty to ponder.
Tom: Like “were they trying to make it sound like Only Teardrops, or was it an accident?”.
Tim: Hmm, maybe. Anyway, good work.
