Over to Byrne in Norway for the five piece that is Svennsen and they offer up a very 60s orientated fifth release. Beautifully done, dripping with melody and splendidly arranged. Catchiness is the word that sums it up.
Dutch Courage is top notch Jangle Pop, mixing 60s Merseybeat and the more modern Indie Guitar Pop variety.Yet We Are Animals enters my beloved Psych Pop with a cracking slab of Toytown fused Guitar ripping.
Hair Of The Dog becomes almost Piano Pop showing the mellower side of UK Beat, but then it launches into a real hippy trippy guitar ending that is wonderful. Falling Out Of Fashion sounds almost straight ahead compared to what surrounds it.
Of course it isn't. It contains some great harmonies and is a jaunty affair, again very 60s, almost Medway. The pace is quickened and it is a great opener. A fine song that doesn't reveal the twists that will follow. Falling Out Of A Fashion is a melodic tour de force!
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
