MP3: The Bear Quartet - I have an itch

Have you heard the new Bear Quartet single yet? Do you like it? I do. It's not their usual folksy pop, but they've never been a band content with repeating the same thing over and over. They thrive on challenging both themselves and the audience. Even when the results aren't top-notch, I still think it's admirable that they make the effort. That's what makes them such a special band. The qualities that can make them so ingratiating are the same that make them so damn brilliant. They are the leaders, we must be content to follow. Trying to complain about it is simply foolish.

Cat5
Play this loud/Sexy CDS
Service

Pretentiousness aside, this is almost a perfect slice of pure (somewhat) subversive pop with sexy lyrics and vocals. They look like a female version of labelmates The Tough Alliance, but their music is much less indie and way more pop. Fun stuff.

Timo Räisänen
Pussycat CDS
Razzia Records

Sweden's Timo Räisänen is famous in his mother country for being in Håkan Hellström's backing band and being a member of Her majesty. This is the third single from his first solo album that was released earlier this year, and even though the actual album is a bit of a hit and miss affair, this is a fine, fine song. It's classic happy-go-lucky Swedish indie rock, and I find it hard to think that anyone could not like this song the first time they hear it. It's a bit like Shout Out Louds but less quirky and more melodic. The b-side is surprisingly bad though.

Tokyo Eye
Vindictive 7"
Vapen & Godis

Ah, the punk-rock 7". Such a quaint relic of a bygone era. Same goes for the Born Against t-shirt worn by the band member on the front cover. Not that punk can't still be vital and important (I'll always love Born Against and support the DIY scene), but as they openly acknowledge with the song "Heard it all before", they aren't really doing anything new. Thankfully that's not the sole qualifier for good music because we'd be screwed. So if you're feeling nostalgic for grrl-punk such as Huggy Bear, check these kids out. It's not mindblowing, but I think it's good to hear that the spirit of that time lives on.

Wan Light
Carmaline
Labrador

"The grim reality" is not only one of the best songs of the year, but the grim reality is also that summer's ending and this review is way too long overdue (my sincere apologies to the band who gave me this CD when they played in London ages ago). Wan Light sounds a bit like The Postal Service or a lo-fi version of The Flaming Lips (musically, but also lyrically - e.g. "The Eskimo in me"), and there's also a pleasant veil of melancholy over their music. The singer's voice might be an acquired taste, but if you manage to get over that obstacle there's plentiful to be gained from Wan Light.

Various Artists
Rojo.Tachan.Nosordo
AA/Nosordo

A collaboration with Spanish magazine Rojo and Swedish label Nosordo, this compilation goes through some compelling sounds and songs from different genres (pop, folk, electro, noise etc) but each a foot solidly planted in experimentation. Swedes Conduo Orchestra, Tsukimono, Henrik Rylander, The Idealist and possibly more each give fitting and diverse performances. Definitely an interesting listen.

We're for the unknown, unbought & unbossed
AA/Nosordo

This one, also from Nosordo, goes into a more noisy direction of different genres. Although there is some melody to be found here and there, this is way more about texture and moods than anything else. Definitely a well designed playlist and a most interesting compilation. In many ways this compilation gives a great overview of what the indie scene has become in recent years, and how many great artists you barely know are out there.
