imaginary trip sounds

The LK (abreviatura de The Love of Kevin, Colour, Chaos and the Sound of K) chegam de Malmö, Suécia. Este duo formado por Lindefelt e Frederik, faz um som electro-pop, são melodias simples e alegres que entram no ouvido e ficam. No seu álbum de estreia Vs the snow, há pontos de contacto com The Postal Service. E como são 7 e meia da manhã, não estou com cabeça para mais e por isso deixo uma crítica ao álbum, extraída sem a devida autorização de pitchforkmedia.com.

"The key to the album's infectiousness, though, lies not so much in the vocals as in the bouncy basslines that percolate at the bottom of the songs. "Tamagotchi Freestyle" rides one of these , a disco-worthy descending phrase that perfectly backs up the instrumental hook, which Fredrik swaps between guitar and cornet. The lyrics mercifully skip any references to the once-ubiquitous digi-pets of the title in favor of calls to burn Elvis alive, and the immolation of a pop icon has never sounded quite this appealing.
I would've called "Tamagotchi Freestyle" a standout, but frankly by that standard half the album would be standouts. In addition to being a good pop record, it's a good details record-- dig the echoing pings and odd, watery guitar tone on closer "Yellow Ribbons", for instance. "Stop Being Perfect" has a great verse melody to set up the chorus, but the bed of electronic tones that worms its way through the beat is just as interesting. Then there are the staccato blasts the underpin the beginning of "Private Life of a Cat"-- what are they made of? It sounds like guitar and trumpet and white noise all smashed together to make one sound.
And speaking of cats, one of mine was completely freaked out by the way the backing vocals on "Eurovision" are injected into the song. He was convinced the sound was coming from someone in the room. The album hits a bit of a lull toward the end, with a few slow tracks that don't grab with nearly the force of their neighbors, but overall The LK Vs. the Snow is a sharp collection of songs that keeps pulling me back for more."
