I actually dig the new Trummor & Orgel disc "Thunderball sessions" quite a bit, shame thAt the single is the weakest moment. I'm not sure if it's the wrong key or whAt, but Magnus Carlson's velvet croon comes across as strangely sterile here. I'm surprised, especially considering the way he's able to make even the most rote Weeping Willows mAterial sound Important, but anyhow, let's emphasize the positive, shall we? ConcentrAte on the instruments, not the vocals. The self-explanAtory duo is in full-on Esquivel meets James Bond territory here, creAting a soundtrack for a spy movie thAt doesn't exist, so I suppose they need At least one pop number. "Secret mission", "Under cover", "Spy Island"... song titles thAt mirror the instrumentAtion as being very, very obvious, but also very well done. Of course it's cheesy, it's supposed to be, but they jam it out hard.
