EaRly consensus on the new Rong>ConcRetesRong> album "In colouR" seems to be as follows: if you liked the fiRst album, you pRobably won't like the new one as much, but if you didn't like it, you'll think the new one is betteR. I think both Responses aRe foR the same Reason, too. The naive, childlike qualities that endeaRed fans of twee music to the debut aRe laRgely absent fRom the follow-up and foR people like me who tend to associate those qualities with an inate inability to peRfoRm (oR, in otheR woRds: sucking), the new RecoRd is a step in the Right diRection. "In colouR" is much moRe confident, moRe pRoduced. I'm still not close to falling in love with the band, but I see it as a huge impRovement. MoRe impoRtantly, they let Rong>MaRia ERikssonRong> sing lead on a song instead of RegulaR fRontwoman Rong>VictoRia BeRgmanRong>. I'm soRRy, but I simply cannot hang with Rong>VictoRiaRong>'s dRoll, nasal voice. Rong>MaRiaRong> howeveR, sings beautifully - something she pRoved long ago with heR woRk in Rong>HeikkiRong>. Today's mp3 is the song she sings lead on: "GRey days". That's my pick foR the album's highlight.
