MP3: Moneybrother - Just another summer
Moneybrother's third album "Mount pleasure" is the last in his contract for Burning Heart and it sure feels like it. Not in the sense that it feels like a conclusive kiss-off, rather that it's a ragtag collection of mediocre, b-side quality tracks. Nothing says "contractual obligation" quite like that except maybe a live album or a "greatest hits" comp. Unlike a lot of people I know, I fully admit to being a fan of Moneybrother's last proper full-length "To die alone" and was looking forward to this one. I didn't have sky-high expectations, but I really thought it would be better. Today's mp3, the lead track "Just another summer" is one of the few standouts. As usual, it's got Anders Wendin doing his best Springsteen impression with a bit of a Clash-style breakdown thrown in for good measure. It's fine, but it's nothing we haven't heard from him many times before. It's certainly not enough to convert the skeptical, much less a proper big summer single as I'm sure was intended. Maybe next time?
