Yep, total Yann Tiersen.  They must be at least acquainted!  Nice to add in a Theremin-type instrument on this one.

I wondered why this sounded so familiar. I was stunned by the video to the Wintergatan track Sommarfågel on YouTube a few years ago, and no surprise to find Martin on both!

This works for me.  I like these guys.  Unique sound, catchy (albeit simple) melody, nice, pleasant composition.  Just different enough. And with a band name and song title like that what's not to like!!?

Yes indeed, silly, light-hearted European sounding music that I'd normally mute except it reminds me of my trip to the Netherlands a few years back - nice people, fond memories.  Varmland sounds like an interesting place to visit, too.

  Yes, total copy of Yann Tiersen (reminds me of the soundtracks of Amelie, the movie from JP Jeunet),  the rest is a bit weird, the mix is not a happy one.

Check out some cajun and zydeco music. Also, a LOT of Tex-Mex (think Flaco Jiminez). Italian music. Certainly Irish music!

This outfit has far too much "wacky acid trip in a crazy circus gone bad" feel to it.

I think these guys are great.  Any repetetiveness or lack of originality can be attributed to the fact that they are young. They'll evolve.  I really dig what they've thrown together — it's encouraging to hear such instruments being used and appreciated by the youth these days.

Posted 16 years ago by kaubey    [ Reply ]
Nice start. But later on it starts to get very annoying with those keyboard sounds. And it sounds way too much as a bad Yann Tiersen rip off - not only the instrumentation, but the tempo doubling, the triples in the middle, the overall feeling expressed... 7 for the song, -2 for lack of originality and copy cat behaviour, -1 for the irritating keyboard makes 4.
