Subtle Changes-Sambassadeur
The perfect springtime song, with lush Bacharach-esque strings and gorgeous sweet melancholic vocals. And oh yes, from Sweden. No, its not "Lovefool" by the Cardigans....its less 60's, more 80's (for some reason it reminds me of an 80's pop hit). Think the Sundays with lush sexier less lonely vocals. I haven't listened to the rest of the Sambassadeur (they are named after a Serge Gainsbourg record, interestingly enough), but based on this, I am looking forward to hearing it (its called Migration--and released on the excellent Labrador records, which is based in Sweden). Saint Etienne, summer at the beach, drinks early on a hot evening...this evokes all of those. Let the swooning begin
Vi Kommer Att Dö Samtidigt-Säkert!
Equally gorgeous, with a 60's pop bent. I have no idea what she is talking about....and I don't imagine that Swedish rolls off the tongue like other languages....yet prepare yourself to hum Annika Norlin singing "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" all day. As far as I know, she's released one self-titled record. All in Swedish. Perfect after a long midsummer's night. Agnetha and Annifrid would be proud.
