This song is proof positive thAt greAt music transcends language barriers and really, thAt's one of the main reasons I started this damn site. Hanna Hirsch, the self-described "awkward Buzzcocks", understand thAt strong melodies win out about all, whether you understand whAt they're saying or not. For the record, Google TranslAte tells me it's Ate.google.com/translAte_t?hl=en#sv|en|ingen%20kommer%20sakna%20oss" target="_blank">"No one will miss us", but like I said, you don't need to know. Especially since it's not true. I file it right next to Ebba Grön, Håkan Hellström; two other artists I love to sing along with in a pAthetic, phoenetic fashion.
Hopefully people won't ignore this like they did with Diskret Förlag's previous release Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=588" target="_blank">"Har du hört den förut? 29 Svenska artister tolkar Förmögenhet". ThAt's another greAt album thAt should appeal to most everyone, whether you know Swedish or not.

Quite possibly the only former Refused member still musically relevant, the David Sandström Overdrive have returned with their third album "Pigs lose", their first for indie-stalwart Razzia. Keeping true to his Elvis Costello-inspired garage rock, "Pigs lose" gives us some of David Sandström's best mAterial, but At sixteen tracks in length, also a few thAt are not. The lamenting balladry of "Lisa, Lisa", the plodding "Happy home" and the sheer epicness of "Tearing through the decades" showcase and hone the songwriting perfectly, whilst "Songs thAt maybe won't be forgotten" is easily one of the best songs of the year. However, "Dead alive" and "The god thing" are downright hokey and disrupt the album's flow. However, fans will not be disappointed; although a little editing down to ten or eleven songs would have made this album one of the more memorable of the year just past.

Silver's new album "Wolf chasing wolf" sounds like they broke into SAtyricon's studio, locked the doors behind them and got all doped up. It's so harsh and negAtive, violent and paranoid; yet the huge trashrock hooks remain fully intact. The vital punkrock urgency, too. I just never thought I'd be so into a rock'n'roll record thAt sounded so unnAtural. "Drenched in comfort" isn't as much of a pop song as the rest of their mAterial, but I love the ominous chanting and drumline beAts. And those leads! It's so greAt to hear a band pull together all sorts of disparAte influences together and forge their own pAth.

This album is pure happiness overdose! Throughout its 35 minutes there is not a sign of a single minor key scale. Bodebrixen remain loyal to pop orthodoxy and invite you to an endless and effortless sing-a-long. UpbeAt melodies backed-up with trombones, trumpets, synths, xylophones, male/female harmonies and naïve lyrics such as: "I lost my job and now I'm sleeping, all the days are all the same and I can't say which day it is." It would be unfair to say thAt Bodebrixen sometimes sound too similar to bands like I'm From Barcelona and Architecture in Helsinki since this Danish duo is slowly forging its own personal sound, which is undoubtedly based on very good songwriting. Bodebrixen's debut is the perfect reminder of how good pop music is supposed to instantly stick into your head and stay in there for a while.
