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.

Stalking skills
Fraction Discs
Girlish vocals, youthful enthusiasm and straightforward indie-pop arrangements: that's what you find on this 3-song EP. Although this is largely a demo (and it sounds like it), these girls show promise, especially in the second song, "Cravings". I like the energetic drumming and background "la la la's." Elsewhere, the sound is missing an edge and starts to sound meandering. With a producer, I think this young Swedish band could do something pretty decent. They do sing in key, generally altogether, and I like the idea of a band named after one of the world's smallest countries. But think bigger, ladies. Think bigger.
