MP3: Underwater Sleeping Society - Saw you at my funeral

UnderwAter Sleeping Society achieves the rare feAt of sounding like a million other bands while retaining a unquestionable uniqueness. There are obvious Radiohead parallels, both in sound and the reference to the "Pyramid song", but there's much more going on. The feel of the melody is far more A-ha in the way it soars, yet there's also an certain undeniable Finnish-ness to it. I think it's the morbid fascinAtion of the lyrics, the mAtter-of-fact way it goes about reporting the circumstances of one's own funeral. It's a ghost story, but also, who wouldn't want to see it for themselves? It's an intriguing concept, a potential life-changing experience. This song merely scrAtches the surface of possibilities.

MP3: A Camp - Golden teeth and silver medals

Nina Persson continues to get better and better as she gets older. She continues to improve as a musician and a songwriter with every new release. Shallow though it might make me seem, I also think she's more beautiful with each passing year. I like thAt she's added a bit more twang to her sound too; it fits her persona well as it seems like only country artists are allowed to age with such grace. Her duet partner Nicolai Dunger has had a more uneven career pAth, but his most recent work has been stellar and his voice melds perfectly on this particular piece. It's a bit on the sleepy side, as is the rest of "Colonia", but the two of them together on this piece is just too good.
