This album is pure happiness overdose! Throughout its 35 minutes there is not a sign of a single minor key scale. Bodebrixen remain loyal to pop orthodoxy and invite you to an endless and effortless sing-a-long. Upbeat melodies backed-up with trombones, trumpets, synths, xylophones, male/female harmonies and naïve lyrics such as: "I lost my job and now I'm sleeping, all the days are all the same and I can't say which day it is." It would be unfair to say that Bodebrixen sometimes sound too similar to bands like I'm From Barcelona and Architecture in Helsinki since this Danish duo is slowly forging its own personal sound, which is undoubtedly based on very good songwriting. Bodebrixen's debut is the perfect reminder of how good pop music is supposed to instantly stick into your head and stay in there for a while. - Vasilis Panagiotopoulos
