Description

Has the best of Swedish pop all rolled into one. ‘Come Tomorrow’ has a lot of Merrymakers and Beagle in it’s soul, with an instantly catchy chorus and plenty of dreamy harmonies. The softer ?This Life? recalls both ELO and even Chilliwack, with it’s upbeat chorus and orchestral details. ‘Goodbye London’ is great balance between pop sense and Brit-rock, illustrating a series of life’s obstacles and his troubles when stricken by a period of writer’s block during the summer of 2006. The arrangements here are flawless, and they run from quick paced hot to the cool and soulful ballad ‘A Little Voice.’ The piano theatrics and sweeping strings of ‘All I Can Do’ sound like a latter day Klaatu song. This is a expressive album that wears it’s heart on it’s sleeve with ‘Longest Day’ like Oasis meeting Kansas (love that organ solo bridge) Fans of Bleu, Jeff Lynne, Canadian or Swedish power pop will flip for this album that touches the spectrum of emotions.
