Loved in Japan for their happy melodies and melodramatic lyrics. Beloved in England for not being perfect. Adored in the USA, Sweden, and the rest of the world for being brilliant songwriters and playing pop music in an eccentric style, but at the same time in a very straight forward way. The Lovekevins live and work in Malmö, southern Sweden. Electro Pop swedish duo formed in 2003. Their first recording Blame the English was released in January 2005 (Songs I Wish I Had Written). It was full of breezy positive pop melodies and melodramatic lyrics. The second release Max Léon was released in 2006. Their music has been described as polished harmonies with choppy guitars and clever lyrics. Their latest installment 'Vs the Snow' released this year is hailed to be the essential scandinavian pop record of 2007, this is a 10-song, 40 minute freak rollercoaster ride through love, longing, basic zoology, 24h afterparties and internet suicide.
