Liechtenstein
Passion for water 7"
Fraction Discs

Liechtenstein are a neat little twee band from Göteborg who have been going for a few years and they just released this 3 track EP. Their lyrics deal with typical twee subjects and have no-nonsense song titles ("Passion for water", "Spending time with you" and "On the tram"). The music is a mix of shoegaze meets twee with a pinch of punk, resulting in a sound like a less-tattooed version of Vivian Girls. It's not exactly game changing, but definitely better than other similar artists out there. It gets a bit repetitive now and then though, as Liechtenstein are really hammering their choruses into the listener's brain. I guess that is part of their musical heritage, but annoying nevertheless. However, all in all, it's a sweet EP that showcases a band that has progressed nicely from their debut ("Survival strategies in the modern world", released last year) and I'm quite keen to hear their forthcoming album.
