undyingkingJust a quick note to point out that Swedish band Those Dancing Days are officially the best thing in the world just at the moment. Five girls from Stockholm, so far they only have one 5-track ep available since late on last year, but it holds the promise of extreme brilliance -- they are only 16 or so. They sing in English and I guess are reminiscent of Kenickie in that they bring an indie guitar sensibility to Hammond-soul-type material. The whole thing is rather amateurish as you might expect, but huge fun. They played in London last month -- I guess it must have been a rather short set. Any of you tastemakers catch it?
They've now made a start on a proper website to go with their MySpace page. You can download the EP for free from there -- the standout track is 'Hitten', which also has a great video on YouTube. I defy anyone to watch it and not feel an urge to dish out hugs in all directions.
On another musical note, if you like the songs of The Magnetic Fields, you might be interested in the 21 Love Songs tribute album, another free download. I haven't listened to any of it yet, so no promises...
