The Second Band
Your dark side is on the phone
Orange Grammofon

Continuing with their piano-laden brand of indie-pop, The Second Band bring us another EP of great sing-a-long catchy tracks, and soft downtempo numbers. While the band still flows best with the uptempo pop tracks, their craft for writing solid slower songs has improved greatly (see "A song I can't recall" with its Bright Eyes meets Counting Crows feel), and if they come up with a new full-length album, could easily cement themselves at the top of the Swedish indie pop scene.
