Samtidigt Som
Flykt, kärlek & broderskap
Luxury
Despite a few exceptional songs, Samtidigt Som's debut album falls flat. Too many tracks following the same formula, too many similar tempos, beats and melodies -- after a while even the standouts become interchangeable. The best Göteborg-style indierock is equal parts extreme euphoria and despair; Samtidigt Som does a fine job nailing the sound, but can't keep up the feeling and never quite reaches the outer limits. Mighty promising, yes, but not there yet.
