New mp3 today from Finnish garage-pop duo Tigerbombs. As I said in my review, these guys aren't exactly reinventing the wheel or anything, but that doesn't stop them from churning out a solid number of golden pop hits. Like the single "1000 sparks", this track is fueled by an energetic classic organ line and a huge chorus. I love that vocal break at the end with the crazy ascending melody that leads into the final chorus. The album may lose a bit of steam when taken as a whole, but that's because this is really the kind of stuff that's dying to be heard as a radio single. So yeah- check it out and inject a bit of sunshine into your cold December day.

These Finns play keyboard-driven garage-pop very much in the same vein as The Caesars/Caesars Palace. Obviously, they aren't setting out to do anything life-changing or even all that original, but they know how to put together a catchy hook and that's what really matters. They probably could've had a much stronger album if they shaved off a couple tunes, but whatever- there's enough strong material here for me to recommend it to anyone looking for something sugary-sweet and fun to help them get through the winter.
