The Higher Elevations

Solid power-pop akin to bands like David & the Citizens or maybe Peter, Björn and John. It's good, but I kind of wish the vocals were a bit stronger. Frontman Niklas Gustafsson definitely sounds better when he lets loose more such as on songs like "Lovestruck", but when he doubletracks his voice the performance suffers. I much rather hear energy and passion than a note-perfect take.
