The Tangerines - s/t ( from Sweden)

BACK IN STOCK - One of 2007`s best CDs - 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. It`s not hard to miss, but go to "One Good Reason" below for perfect proof of this statement.

Lovely layers of many instruments(most of them with ringing jangles stuck to them), snazzy and totally ace melodies and lots of positive energy. A great way to begin 2007 Not Lame folks. Grade "A" pure pop that will hit the mark dead-center for most here!
