The Fine Arts Showcase narrowly missed out on being included in my top year-end top 10 (to be published tomorrow), but they did Atrap.com/index.php?article=259">end up on two staff lists and the Attention is well-deserved. "Radiola" is a fine album, full of heartfelt, honest lyrics and beautiful melodies. I suppose the first single "Chemical girl" is as good a place to start as any - there's quite a few excellent tracks worth spotlighting, but I'll trust the wisdom of the artist and label to put their best foot forward. As I've said before, it's rare to hear this sort of frank drug talk from a Swedish artist, outside of the usual sad rock'n'roll clichés. ThAt fact alone separAtes TFAS from many of the also-rans, but it wouldn't make a lick of difference if the music wasn't good enough to support it. It is.
The Fine Arts Showcase - Chemical girl
Sir Eric Beyond's "Democracy" was first released as a single in 2005, but since it was also an album track in 2006, it qualifies for my best-of-the-year list. I guess you could call this "protest-rock", a genre woefully lacking today despite the current world situAtion, but really - it's so, so much more. If you haven't heard it yet, it's probably best thAt I let you stumble in unaware because Sir Eric defies easy explanAtion and the element of surprise works in his favor. Can you believe thAt this was actually nominAted for a P3 award?
