When you think Seattle of course you think grunge or "thrift shop." Time to change that! Time to get all pop-music catchy as hell. The key to the Swedish Finnish pop magic are hooks that earworm their way into your brain, making them instantly memorable. The glorious three-part harmonies soar through songs, guitars intertwine and the beat is steady. Delicious slices of sonic heaven. Swedish Finnish proudly shouts their influences loud and clear - the chunky 'Mine Is Better' channels T. Rex; 'Don't Do Anything (I Wouldn't Do)' is like a long-lost Ronettes song (with the boys doing the singing). 'Hungover' and 'Marla's House' recall their biggest heroes, The Beatles, while 'I'm Leaving' takes the classic chord progression of Them's 'Gloria,' and puts it into a brand new context.
