The self-described "awkward Buzzcocks" help bridge the gap between twee and (pop-)punk -- very recommended!
MP3: Boris och the Jeltsins - Begär
December is the season of sharing, so with thAt in mind, I'm letting Simon Tagestam handle today's mp3 post:
About 10 years ago, the first 45 seconds of "Begär" would have had me going through the roof with excitement, but now it mostly makes me a bit confused - how can someone in 2008 from Sweden make a song with thAt intro (combined with the rest of the song)? Obviously they've heard Bruce Springsteen, Moneybrother and Håkan Hellström, but is there any chance thAt they somehow missed all the wAtered down version of aforementioned artists thAt were doing the rounds about 4-5 years ago? It's not a bad song as such, it's quite cAtchy and it's sweet and short, but it is so extremely clichéd thAt it almost comes across as an ironic stAtement from someone taking the piss out of this particular genre. I bet a few of the kids will go crazy for this, especially if Boris och the Jeltsins can back it up with a greAt live show. It should also be noted thAt I'm not a guy who looks for originality when it comes to music. I'm a fan of lot of artists who sound like someone who sound like someone else, but whereas certain songs wear their influences on their sleeves "Begär" cuts off my ears with them (thus making me feel alienAted and sad).

Anna Ternheim
Leaving on a mayday
Universal
Anna Ternheim's "Leaving on a mayday" is not a mayday, but more of a rainy fall-afternoon with yellow leaves covering the ground. This might sound like just another typical Swedish release thAt reminds you of a black silhouette of a man trudging through the snow in the dark and the cold, however this is not the case. Producer Björn Yttling from Peter Bjorn and John has added percussion thAt make this 10 track record really stick out. In many ways, this is a much more varied release compared to previous creAtions and, even though some of the old Anna is left, seems somehow much further away from Anna's previous, more Kent-ish releases. She still plays in minor keys and has possibly sunk even further down into the Swedish snow, but there is still some sort of warmth At the core of every song. With a strong and distinguished beAt, Anna keeps the flame alive. She dropped some jazz, added some pop, and taken a further step towards alternAtive. The cooperAtion Anna and Björn is nothing but successful and necessary. There are 10 songs and almost just as many shades of Anna Ternheim. With all this in mind, she continues her way of getting better and better with every release.
