It seems like every other week there's another cute Swedish pop act to fall in love with, and definitely not bucking that trend is Stockholm's Those Dancing Days.
The vocal lines duck and weave with a Northern Soul feel that counterpoints the band's garage pop stomp - their bouncy girl group rifferama is infectious enough, but it's singer Linnea Jonsson's insouciant, almost-sultry vocals that make this irresistible.
There is room for improvement in occasional duff lyrics like "you're crispy like a Cheese Doodle". In fact, many of the lines come off unoriginal and simplistic on paper (let's cut them some slack for barely being out of high school):
High on life, in love with me,
Dancing through the night, dancing through the day
But context is everything - when you wed those words to a chorus as utterly joyous as the one in the title track, it's impossible to find fault. Compulsory listening: "Hitten" and "Those Dancing Days".
4 supercool bubble perms out of 5:
Buy it or buy it, there is no not buy it.
