Per Bergkvist returns as does his band, The Virtues. Sweden`s Virtues have been around for sometime releasing 3 CDs carried on this site. Yet, none of them match the accomplishment of "Beautiful Game". This CD towers above their previous work. It`s an affair that has a grace-filled, gentle spirit that soothes and subdues with a stunning reaction. "Soft singer/songwriter pop reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Grant Lee Buffalo and sometimes you can hear The Posies and Big Star in the happier songs"-Ettnollett. "Melancholy Swedish jangle rock. The band has a familiar friendly sound. Comparisons to Crowded House and (especially) Del Amitri are apt. " - Fufkin.com. Lead vocalist/guitar Per Bergkvist writes pop songs that go straight to the soul. Their secret recipe consists of a cup of 60������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½s contagious rock, a dash of that Nordic melancholy and a spoonful of sugar. "this is beautiful, the pure and genuine Swedish way with the American singer/songwriter tradition; emotional power pop." - Dalarna. My fave song is sample #3 below - listen! VERY Highly Recommended!!
