Tim: Two years ago, a couple of industry folk put together a Swedish J-pop group and tested them out at Melodifestivalen; right now, though, it’s safe to say we’ve developed somewhat. (And no, that’s not a typo in the title – no idea why.)
Tom: First thought on reading the artist name: “They’re still going?” First thought on hearing that intro: “They’re still going!”
Tim: They sure are, and making very decent music. We’re currently on our second Molly and third Polly (though the original Holly hasn’t gone anywhere), so while we had the same reaction with their last song, I suppose what I’m most surprised about is that they’ve actually kept it going – it’s certainly hard to predict any future directions.
Tom: This certainly isn’t bubblegum pop any more — it’s verging that way, of course, it has to be given the pastel colours and bows — but this has clearly got some actual, modern pop influences, and it’s so much better for it.
Tim: They’ve yet to release a full album, and given the revolving line up I’d imagine negotiations might be tricky, but if it stays like this I’d absolutely love to hear one. If not – well, just keep the singles coming, please.
