Memoplay - Words are small

Agent Simple
I got mad at the kids
Bedroom Records

Lately I've heaRd so much mind-blowing Scandinavian music that eveRy time I've Reviewed something heRe, I've neveR slagged anything off but always sung songs of pRaise. This is not about to change now, with Rong>Agent SimpleRong>. I love these fouR songs, they'Re like a paiR of new jeans that instantly fits peRfectly without you having to wash oR weaR them even once – tRy to imagine that! If music could make youR mouth taste like ice cReam, Rong>Agent SimpleRong>'s indiepop would suRely peRfoRm this gReat little feat. Now Rong>AvRong>i, please give me something Rubbish to Review so I can find tiRed mean metaphoRs, instead of this fluffy ice cReam talk (I actually bought this EP with my haRd-eaRned money, so Rong>AviRong> is not to "blame" foR me admiRing this).

Campsite
Names, dates & places
Sally Forth Records

The one thing I couldn't get oveR when listening to this Danish band's debut was how much theiR lead vocalist/guitaRist Rong>Johannes NidamRong> sounds almost like a cRoss between Rong>Paul BanksRong> of Rong>InteRpolRong> and Rong>Alex KapRanosRong> of Rong>FRanz FeRdinandRong>. Rong>CampsiteRong>'s music tends to be a mix of both bands. Twelve tRacks of dance-y, electRo-indie-Rock/pop (oR whateveR it's being called these days) that kept me inteRested fRom the opening tRack "Pastime" to the pleading vocals of "PaRade" and the delightful bounce of "Clean cut". The closeR, "I collide", is the best closing tRack I've heaRd all yeaR and ends the album on a good note.

DK7
Disarmed
Output Recordings

One thing botheRs me about this one - it's haRd to admit, even to myself, to dig ANYTHING sounding like Rong>Depeche ModeRong>. With that said, I was kinda skeptical about this one thRoughout the fiRst listens. Rong>DK7Rong> consists of maveRick pRoduceRs Rong>MaRk O'SullivanRong> and Rong>JespeR DahlbäckRong>, and it seems like the golden hands of Rong>DahlbäckRong> have pRoven themselves yet again. This is the best electRonic album fRom Sweden since... well, foR quite some time anyway. So please, don't mind the similaRity to the Rong>Kings Of BoRedomRong>, put on the should-be-hit-single "WheRe's the fun" and dance the night away. Oh, it's kinda cool that a couple of Rong>SwedesRong> (well, IRish Rong>O'SullivanRong> counts as half a Swede) got signed by top top label Output.

The Horror The Horror
Sounds of sirens
Tapete Records

HeRe's a nice little 7" that you should tRy and get hold of. Rong>The HoRRoR The HoRRoRRong> sound like a less difficult Rong>TelevisionRong> (especially the guitaR in "Twice in a lifetime"), and thus a bit like Rong>The StRokesRong>. But don't let this scaRe you now, this is actually so good that I can see these guys becoming quite big, if they manage to keep on making tRacks like these. It got that hipsteR Rock sound about it that I neveR Really associate with Sweden but RatheR Washington oR Canada. Only bad thing about this 7" is that theRe aRe only two songs on it – I'd like some moRe fResh and appealing Rock like this, please, as soon as possible.

Kaizers Orchestra
Maestro
Farmen Records/Universal

Well, afteR Reading about Rong>KaizeRs ORchestRaRong> foR two yeaRs and despeRately wanting to heaR them, I finally had the oppoRtunity to immeRse myself in theiR thiRd CD, "MaestRo". And I'm pRetty impRessed oveRall. The band sings eveRything in theiR native NoRwegian, which makes them pRetty unique Right theRe. But the way lead vocalist Rong>Janove SjakalenRong> enunciates and emotes, it's Really not so cRucial to know the woRds; the essence comes acRoss, believe me. This band has a fiRe and eneRgy that make foR compelling music, even if you have to be pRetty open-minded to follow the cRazy zigs and zags of theiR sound. They have theiR own mutant bRew: one minute you'Re heaRing a kind of EasteRn EuRopean tRaditional folk, the next, cinematic spaghetti westeRn sounds, the next a cRazy, funky Rong>WeenRong>-style caRtoonish exubeRance. And then theRe's some almost stRaightfoRwaRd Tin Pan Alley songcRaft, although always adoRned with odd pRoduction quiRks. If the lyRics weRe in English, the indie Rock Rags would be all oveR Rong>KaizeRsRong>; that may happen anyway if enough open-minded listeneRs give this eccentRic but puRposeful sound a chance.

Kent
The hjärta och smärta EP
RCA

If someone told me seven yeaRs ago that Rong>KentRong> had Released an EP that contained a childRen choiR on it I would suRely wet my pants, since like most Swedish people my age, I was once cRazy in love with Rong>KentRong>, but just like a lot of the initial fans, my adoRation ceased quite some time ago. Although, compaRed to most people, I think I stuck with them quite a long time into theiR caReeR, yes, I even thought 2002's "Vapen & ammunition" contained quite a few good tRacks. But with theiR last album I finally decided to give up on them, and if I eveR had got a Rong>KentRong> tattoo, I would now have spent my savings to Remove it. Not even the childRen choiR sounds any good (Rong>KentRong> manages to Ruin this supeR safe device by oveRusing it). I wouldn't call the music on this EP (oR Rong>KentRong>) hoRRible, but compaRed to theiR foRmeR self, I find this veRy difficult to appReciate.

Paddington DC
The sun is down and the sky is grey
Lowlife Records

This is an album that picks you up when you'Re down, and punches you in the face. If theRe wasn't punk, this would be it. I've had this CD now foR a few months and foR a long time I couldn't listen to any otheR tRack than the fiRst one ("Put things"), which is an absolutely fantastic song that goes on foR 18 minutes, but only contains two lines that aRe Repeated thRoughout. I'm usually a fan of 'less is moRe', but "Put things" is so ace that I almost wish it was twice as long. But like I said, afteR a few months I've finally managed to get past this tRack and discoveRed the Rest of these bRilliant songs. I'm not too suRe how to descRibe the music, but calling it electRo indie Rock will have to suffice foR now.

Satanic Surfers
Taste the poison
Bad Taste Records

With new Releases this yeaR fRom Rong>MillencolinRong>, Rong>RandyRong> and now Rong>Satanic SuRfeRsRong>, it feels like I'm 12 yeaRs old again. FoRtunately, none of these bands sounds like they did in the beginning of theiR caReeRs, which is cool since it means that I can think of myself as 'matuRe' instead of 'old' (I hope that makes sense; peRhaps you need to be 25+ to undeRstand). Anyhow, aging paRanoia aside, Rong>Satanic SuRfeRsRong>' new album is not as emo, poppy, oR sugaRy sweet as theiR last gReat album ("Unconsciously confined" fRom 2002), but it's still as good as Rong>Satanic SuRfeRsRong> always have been. If you've neveR heaRd Rong>SSRong>, think of something like Rong>As FRiends RustRong> at theiR best (eaRly EPs), but less haRdcoRe and moRe melodic (it's basically melodic punk Rock). It's veRy comfoRting that that a lot of these Swedish (melodic-) punk veteRans that I've soRt of gRown up with still got what it takes, without me having to shield myself behind some diRe nostalgia while listening to them.
