Dutch Uncles - Fragrant

Are these Swedish? Oh, they were on a Scandinavian label before. This is smooth 80s inspired radio-indie from MancLand (tm) that has a strong suggestion of Mew in there. But they can't quite manage the "interesting bit" like those crazy Danes. There's something catchy & breathless about this tune though - the dinky sounding guitars do lots of quirky interwining things and there's some fairly inspired qualities to the overall arrangment which lifts it beyond much of the chaff. I find it all a bit too polished & annoyingly airy though, but that's not to say it's a bad song in any way, I just prefer my music to wallow in the mud for a while so it forms a crust when it dries out. I can get me teeth into it better then......
