Lately I've heard so much mind-blowing Scandinavian music that every time I've reviewed something here, I've never slagged anything off but always sung songs of praise. This is not about to change now, with Agent Simple. I love these four songs, they're like a pair of new jeans that instantly fits perfectly without you having to wash or wear them even once – try to imagine that! If music could make your mouth taste like ice cream, Agent Simple's indiepop would surely perform this great little feat. Now Avi, please give me something rubbish to review so I can find tired mean metaphors, instead of this fluffy ice cream talk (I actually bought this EP with my hard-earned money, so Avi is not to "blame" for me admiring this).

Everything I've reviewed this week has been surprisingly excellent, but this disc is way too boring for my sensitive ears. There are six tracks on this EP but I can only find one proper song ("Lofi referee" which is quite a fine pop song, I must say), the rest of them are all nice and cute but way too fragmented and they sound more like song ideas than actual songs. The Mexicos did some super alright electronic versions of two Håkan Hellström songs earlier this year, but that fact only makes this EP more of a disappointment I'm afraid.

This is Peter Gunnarson from the magnificent Suburban Kids With Biblical Names and his (girl?)friend Lina Cullemark making some pleasant and melodic songs together. It's all nice and summery, and of course, very twee. I'm looking forward to see Springfactory perform their jolly songs live, preferably outdoors in the afternoon with the sun out, and my girl on one side and some cool raspberry beers on the other side.
