New 2010 CD from Sweden`s The Tangerines and, for a very limited time, get a 4 song exclusive CD-R of 2 cover songs(Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse and Daydream Believer by The Monkees) and 2 totally unreleased songs from the band. Their last self-titled album from 2007 was one of that year`s very best. What I wrote then applies now. Lovely layers of many instruments(most of them with ringing jangles stuck to them), snazzy and totally ace melodies and lots of positive energy. They have not messed with that formula that madeThe Tangerines so special - which is a thankful thing because what is is, IS......Swedish power pop!! Three words that are much cause of celebration here at Not Lame and when we use them Not Lame is always relieved when the Swedish power pop band can live up to the expectations of the great bands that have come before any new one. Well, The Tangerines only add to the great legacy there. Fans of Ed James, The Lolas, The Rubinoos and Cloud Eleven sound jump up `n down, drool and land on your feet and run go get The Tangerines. Or, at the least, listen below and you can hear what we`re talking about. Talk about jangle! What`s really cool here is that as purely power pop as this is, it has a big `ole ground wire running through it that is firmly rooted in the inspirations of The Byrds when Gene Clark was in the band, too. 16 songs(plus 4 with the bonus EP) packed with rich melodies, infectious hooks, sweet harmonies and jangly guitars. 2010 starts off with a band with sure Top 10 or 20 album for the year and a pure celebration of the Not Lame spirit! GRADE A - beginning to end.
