Weird? Listen to the following tunes. There are some great new ones and a classic. Once more, it proves that the best music at the moment comes from a vast and cold country upnorth. I'm talking about Canada, of course.Pony Up - The truth about cats and dogs (is that they die)
The Raveonettes - Hallucinations
Magnetic Fields - California girls
The Jolly Goods - Girl move away from here
Mental as anything - Live it up
Tegan & Sara - Back in your head
Post scriptum:
Pay attention to 'California girls' lyrics. Evil I say! Perfect antithesis to Beach Boys glorification of these chicks.
The 'Jolly Goods' are from a place in the middle of nowhere in Germany. I heard a interview of them on the radio. They were as stoned as their sound is cool.
'Mental as anything' are a typical one-hit-wonder-band from the 80ies. 'Live it up' has recently been covered by wonderful 'Architecture in Helsinki', yet couldn't find that version.
The 'Pony Up' are another offspring from Montral and will spread the glory of those realms upnorth further around the world. Not far away, twins Tegan & Sara grew up in cold Calgary. I spotted them for the first time back in 2003 when they released their first album which was, back then, even broadcast on (late) indie-music-TV-station Viva2. 5 years later FM4 brings them as the next big thing. Let the hype-games begin.
Finally, Danish 'Raveonettes' produced my favourite album of 2007. Nothing to add.
