"Hannah" is the sound of Strawberry Generation at their effervescent best, combining breezy vocal-melodies with the driving slap of a snare drum and flickering licks of rapid-fire guitar. The whole thing seems to fizz and shimmy in equal measure, combining an easy groove with a delightfully driving pace.
"Afloat" already feels like a giant leap forward for the band, and their brand of heart-breaking pop perfection. For those feeling like they’re missing a vital piece of themselves since the departure of the likes of Allo Darlin’ or The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, might just have found the perfect repair kit.
The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
