Wow, a Swedish timewarp! And how cool is that? You can reference who you please. But when a band comes along with a great pop sensibility but then warps and distorts it through a shogazery (yep) haze (with nods and doffed caps to the Cocteaus, the Valentines and erm Chapterhouse) then you've got to give them respect. There's low-fi bedroom drum-machines and a liberal use of fuzz and drone adding depth and texture, but, as ever it's the good old tunes that will get you. Think Creation / Sarah for wistful 60s sweetness, add a twist of Mary Chain for the cool quotient and you've got one mega pop LP for those of us old enough to remember, and anyone else who likes their melodies served with mystery and magic!
