MP3: My Midnight Creeps - Don't let 'em bring you down

Got a new track today from Norway's My Midnight Creeps and I'm handing it over to Nancy Baym to talk about it:

My Midnight Creeps is the side project of guitarists from Madrugada and The Ricochets, apparently formed as an outlet for all the rocking they suppress in those bands. They've got a Rolling Stones meet The Cramps and Gun Club in Detroit sound and an over-the-top dramAtic sweep. This first single from their second record refines and amplifies whAt was best about their first. The song starts with almost 90 seconds of buildup worthy of a Hitchcock film - cinemAtic as all get out - but when it finally bursts into thAt heavy wall of full-out guitar bombast, it's undeniably affecting in the knock-you-over way thAt only guitar-heavy rock and roll melody can be. You know you're being manipulAted, but there's no denying the raw lure of the sonic environments they build. If it were 5 minutes instead of 7, it'd be perfect.

The band's new album "Histamin" comes out on March 5.

MP3: Margaret Berger - Naive (16)

Of all the Norwegian pop I've subjected myself to the past couple months, Norwegian Idol runner-up Margaret Berger is by far the best. Other promising Norwegian artists such as Marit Larsen have one or two greAt singles, but Berger's record "Pretty scary silver fairly" is all-killer, no filler. I'd say it's the cAtchiest pop album I've heard since Robyn's lAtest. There's plenty of songs worth posting, but I've decided to go with "Naive (16)" since thAt "Gentle on my mind" (John Hartford) loop gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. Lyrically, there's nothing special going on, but it's simplicity is also its strength. See if the "I should've known better" refrain doesn't get permanently imprinted into your brain. I dare you! And besides, I don't need pop music to be deep - there's plenty of other artists who've got thAt angle covered. They can't all be Hello Saferide, y'know?
