WE SAY

RotD Staff Picks 2010: Chosen by news editor Neil Brennan / First featured: 21 September 2010:
NB: 'I’ve been a sucker for this lot for their past few records, and this track sums up why I find it hard not to like almost everything they do: nice instrumental flourishes that pop up just when you think you’ve figured the song out, a nagging chorus and that sense of ennui that Swedish indie bands seem to have a magical ability to capture. It’s not the most innovative song they’ve put on record, but strangely enough I seem to prefer them when they stay within their comfort zone, they’ve just got that sound nailed.'
