This record perfectly balances the aspirAtions of art, folk and rock. GreAt music, greAt lyrics, greAt everything. I really had no idea whAt to expect with this, but I was totally impressed. Parts remind of Fireside's "Elite", others bring to mind Norrland indiefolk stuff like IsolAtion Years. David Sandström, ex-drummer of Refused? Naah, it's just David Sandström, successful solo artist. Definitely another one of the best records I've heard this year.

This record falls squarely into the cAtegory called 'not my thing.' There's some okay melodies here and there, but I really just can't handle slacker indie rock. Bands like The Bear Quartet pull it off because they are amazingly creAtive and adventurous, but Speedmarket Avenue is no BQ. Pass.
