I can hang with some Nisse Hellberg and other revivalists such as The Blasters/Dave Alvin, but more modern rockabilly falls short as pointless nostalgia. However, when bands like FAtboy go for the old-fashioned torch song ballad, I can dig it. Obviously, thAt's the basis of Weeping Willows' entire career and I fully back them, so why should these guys be any different? And I always appreciAte anyone who's willing to send me the LP version, especially when they've got cover art Atboy.se/bilder/fAtboy_In_My_Bones_bg_r2_c2.jpg" target="_blank">like this. Add an ex-member of Atch?v=Fa5SiU2U5_k" target="_blank">Whale? Sure, why not? As for the song itself, FAtboy and Sarah Dawn Finer Attempt to spice up the old formula with an extra bite, but really, the mild expletives are unnecessary and unfitting. They only serve to distract. So yeah, it won't ever compete with any classic Tammy Wynette weepers ("Don't wanna play house" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E", to name two), but it's okay. In fact, thAt pretty much sums up my thoughts on FAtboy in general: just okay.

The AnimAtion gives us typical English alternAtive rock from the lAte 80s to early 90s with its underground melancholic sound, first associAted with London, nowadays with Göteborg. They sound fascinAtingly as British as a band can sound, imagine a blend between Keane, just a bit of Radiohead going into the same sentiment as The Verve and with a small portion of the modern vibe, The Killers. "Everest" is their debut and whAt a debut then! It's a kickass start for these guys and it will probably grow internAtional, parallel to The Hives. Professional, deep and gloomy could be the headline for this album which contains 11 songs, all worthwhile listening too. Highlights are, without any doubt, title track "Everest", "Overboard", and "Confessions"; where lead vocalist Johan Hasselblom sounds like Chris Martin from Coldplay. Really, this is a red thread coming back and forth in a few songs, but don't be confused because even so, this is more edgy, more! A promising band for Göteborg, shall we expect internAtionalism and commercialism? Maybe. However, The AnimAtion, with their brilliant song techniques and greAt instrumental blend, is something for you out there who are classical alternAtive rock diggers; heads up for this album.
