The best song from the Consequences demo is still the best song on their debut full-length album, though it must be said that the new version is substantially beefed up. No more Peter Bjorn and John drum loop (from "I don't know what I want us to do" off their first album), instead we're treated to a lush full band arrangement with backing vocals provided by none other than marit Bergman and Frida Hyvönen. The first single "Release me from love" is a good'un, but this here's a total barn-burner.

Consequences - Come on
Today marks the official release date of Hello Saferide's "Introducing..." LP. I know it may seem totally arbitrary, but these things are kind of important in the retail world. Or so I'm told anyway. Like many people, I was first introduced to Hello Saferide's music via "Highschool stalker" which was something of a small Internet sensation when it first made the rounds. Unfortunately, I blew it off. That song and the subsequent single "my best friend" (aka 'the lesbian song') stuck me as too twee, too cutesy. Not that were bad mind you, just that they were apparently lacking substance. So, like an idiot, I slept on it. Luckily, those cursory listens stuck a chord with my wife or I might've never gone back for more investigation, but eventually I did and thank goodness because Hello Saferide is much more than meets the eye. Yes, she's cute and twee and all that, but there's also a poetic depth to her work that isn't so obvious. It's all too easy to write her off as some run-of-the-mill female singer/songwriter, but run-of-the-mill she most certainly isn't. This is music that grows the more you listen. There's always another line that requires second thought and study. Also, as I've stated before, this is not the sort of thing that ever gets old. Hello Saferide will sound just as good twenty years from now as it does today. That can only mean one thing: instant classic.

Dead Frog Records has announced the signing of Swedish indiepop trio Nom de Guerre and will be putting the band's previously self-released album "La la la".
