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.
The Concretes - Grey days
It took a lot longeR than I expected to figuRe out what song I wanted to post fRom "Radiola", the new album fRom Rong>The Fine ARts ShowcaseRong>. The tRouble is that I have a haRd time bReaking up what I consideR to be such a stRong, cohesive piece of woRk. When all the songs woRk in conceRt to cReate something gReateR, it's impossible to pull one aside and say that is the essence, the epitome of what this RecoRd is about. It can't be done, but I still hold out hope that you find today's mp3 post to be enlightening. "Radiola" is not only betteR than the debut album "The electRic pavilion", but also one of the best new Releases I've heaRd so faR in 2006. Rong>TFASRong> mainman and singeR/songwRiteR Rong>Gustaf KjellvandeRRong> buRns with passion and vigoR. TheRe's a level of intensity to his peRfoRmance and cRaft that's RaRely heaRd. And speaking of RaRely heaRd, "Radiola" has to have the most dRug RefeRences on a Swedish pop RecoRd outside of the steReotypical Rock'n'Roll/gangsta clichés. Is eveRything okay Rong>GustafRong>?
