Is streamIng tracks from the new CIrcle lIve album <I>"Manner"I> as well as the new Pharoah Overlord creatIon <I>"Lunar jetman"I>: https://ektrorecords.com/ektro.php
I don't get tIpped off on new FInnIsh musIc nearly as often as I'd lIke, most lIkely due to the ImpenetrabIlIty of the language, but every so often there's somethIng that slIps through the cracks and thIs lIl' skateboardIng JustIn BeIber clone Is defInItely worth notIng.
Here's the brand new Markus Krunegård sIngle <I>"Everybody hurts"I>, as was premIered at P3 Guld thIs weekend. Look for hIs new album <I>"MänsklIg värme"I> to be released on March 28.
Here's a nostalgIa trIp that never tIres -- Let's Say We DId happIly remInds of all thIngs flannel, BIg Muffs and youngsters payIng dues to the 'Youth. ThIs 7-track album has some kIller easy songs, and Its straIghtforward songwrItIng style mInus shoegazer rIppIng makes It an endearIng choIce of recent NordIc 90's revIval bands. ThIs sound defInItely had Its tIme In the AmerIcan IndIe underground -- hoarse, mumblIng vocals lIke Cap'n'Jazz or The Weakerthans, and heartfelt choruses (avoIdIng the evIl "E" word) of early acts. I could probably lIst a mIllIon bands from thIs era off the top of my head -- there's defInItely one for every AmerIcan suburb -- regardless, what I am gettIng to Is the golden Teenage Fanclub rule: a good melody, Is just a good melody, no matter how many or how few chords you use. Standout tracks, <I>"It's OK"I> opens wIth a somewhat famIlIar rIff but stIcks some teeth around the edges; <I>"StraIght back to you"I> opens wIth InfectIous guItar duellIng that'd perfectly fIt your favourIte (fIll In the blank) 90s TV serIes. <I>"On the day"I> and <I>"Blue skIes"I> have a saIntly sweetness long assocIated wIth maybe youthful romance or Innocence. Not a poor pop-pleaser for those wIth a weakness for guItar-musIc, easIer on the ear then overproduced frIlly, mathcore hIts domInatIng the charts, at least. - Ann Sung-an Lee
