Doctors & Dealers “Lost friends and newfound habits” Swedish whimsical pop w/ quirky lyrics. Sardonic humor, offbeat lyricism and gummy accent mix to make the female soloist (named “Sparrow” – how hipster!) unique. All songs are short, typically around 2 mins, and are best when isolated. The CD as a whole is a bit too much kitsch to handle at once! FCCs – 3, Start with 1, 3, 4, 11 basil 1)*** Funky, punctuated guitar, soft female vox “Everytime I see you on the dance floor, baby what a show" 2) ** FCC “Bitch” Simple piano ditty, vox & notes rise & fall in sync 3) ***upbeat, the sun is shining! But wait, there’s murder in the lyrics… 4) **carousel beat, up & down & full of bells; fun duet about arrogance 5) *uptempo, streaming lyrics; almost has a shoegazey feel 6) mournful tone + violins. I missed em, but apparently there are loads of pop cultural references in the lyrics. please explain them to me! 7) retro ragtime piano w/ upbeat drumming, nice harmonies 8) Unrestrained cheese! preschool-level schmaltz, I don’t care if she's being ironic 9) Dark & svelte, very 1920s. too bad it’s just not her genre! 10) * John Brion-esque flute start, nice trombone 11) **Uptempo; Simple but intriguing narrative about a bad date 12) subdued lullaby w/ some nice glockenspiel action; soft listening 13) bubbly bell-filled sameness 14) *Kazoo, xylaphone, ukelele mix = cheery! | ||
