SOME REVIEWS of their debut album #3 (released May 2007 in Ireland and the UK)
UNCUT - ****(4/5)
Her Space Holiday and Pavement are just two of the Americana influences on offer here, while their moniker is a Silver Jews lyric. Happily, this debut full-length wouldn't feel out of place next to their hero's recordings. "Funeral Face" even succeeds at The Magnetic Fields' trick of mixing mild electronica with grand orchestration, while retaining the charming impression that it was all recorded in someone's hallway (which it was)
SWELL MUSIC - 8/10
Their debut delivers with a heavyweight punch, an album of incredible diversity with moods and sounds all held together cohesively. You'll marvel at the wit and joyful insanity evinced on this Pet Sounds for Nano troopers.
Imagine if you will: Belle & Sebastian drinking too much eggnog at the prom and fiddling with Erasure's box of tricks.
Verdict: Turning up the twee to ten and revelling in the sheer joy of it. A sure fire summer smash.
NME Review - 8/10
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Nordic duo Johan Hedberg & Peter Gunnarson are very cool indeed. Like a young primary school Beck skipping through The Shins' back catalogue,they've made a lush folk pop album that wouldn't appear out of place in Sufjan Stevens' personal CD collection. Bow down before the new Viking invasion.
