As soon as I wrote that title I realised that I am fast approaching the point where I can group myself with the kids, let alone the cool kids but hey, hopefully this next installment I've got for you might make you more inclined to think I'm hip.
Long story short, I am absolutely gushing over the new release from Swedish indie darlings Lacrosse. The newwy is entitled Bandages for the Heart and for someone who takes a while to warm to anything, I found this one instantly lovable and I really think it is accessible for everybody.
Lacrosse certainly didn't get me at the best of times, 4am in the morning, driving to Richmond where it was a lovely -2 and the prospect of yet another day at the Cardboard factory and yet by the first two tracks ("We are the kids" & "You are Blind") I was absolutely enamored with Lacrosse.
If i described it as vibrant Swedish pop it probably wouldn't do it's quality justice but it still gives you a good idea what they're all about. I guess if I had to be critical, the duel male / female vocals might begin to wear thin but I personally love the shout at me type choruses of bands like Port O'Brien and now Lacrosse.
I was a bit slow to get on the Lacrosse band wagon, but now that I'm here, I'm certainly not getting off. Bandages of the Heart is a brilliant solid effort rather than a flash in the pan 2 or 3 songs with plenty of filler.
If it doesn't lift your mood, you are more depressed than Marvin the robot on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Check out this Cabbury kids-esque video for "We are Kids".
