The Electric Pop Group - The indie mp3 Jury Says Yes!

It seems that it's The Electric Pop group weekend here on indie mp3! Magnus posted his thoughts yesterday and my review of the album follows.Taking their inspiration from "C86" and the early releases on Subway and Creation, Gothenburg's The Electric Pop Group sound like they could have come from Bristol 20 years ago. Indeed they hark back to this age in a manner that their nearest contemporaries like Sambassadeur fail to do. The music is not that far off from the likes of The Field Mice, Another Sunny Day or The Clouds and singer Martin sounds uncannily like Gregory Webster (The Razorcuts) during many parts of the album.
However the band are far removed from being copyist and they have more than enough characteristics of their own to make a distintive impression on the listener. From the opening track Popgirly to the gentle closer Alone the album is full of delicate and thoughtfully crafted indie pop gems that, because of their infectious nature, you will want to play time and time again.
It's listening to records like this that give me an enthusiasm for music! An album that will impress those who were around in the mid to late eighties during jangle pop's golden age to those discovering it for the first time today.
The band have made the whole album available for streaming on Last FM. It's not licensed in the UK as of yet and your best bet is to pick it up via Swedens Fractions Disc.
