What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

Indie pop was once my life. Yes, I loved the Field Mice & all that jangly cobblers. Still do in fact. A lot of late 80's sad eyed troubadours took New Order's breathtaking electro shambles to heart & started re-creating such a slew of melancholic lo-fi pop & whimsical genius in their bedrooms all over the rain streaked suburbs of Blighty. Now everyone wants to be the Arctic Monkeys or Kanye West or whatever we have to buy our tear stained DIY pop back from chillier plains. Sweden for example drips great indie but beyond a tiny handful of acts, no-one beyond Scandinavia really gives a shite. Where a year or two ago we were swooning to the Radio Dept, we now have fellow fuzzers TILLMANS & even resident jangle hater, Phil, has expressed an interest in this fabulous 4 track 7" on Fraction. Blending prime early Field Mice (rattling drum machine under a blanket of post Sumner strum, wistful lyrics down in the mix & a swelling keyboard with more emotion than the entire England squad. 'Run' is also simply an amazing tune. Then you get another 3 New Order inspired gems with hints of other early lesser spotted Factory acts with obvious affectionate nods to the juicier elements of the Sarah roster & some fabulous MBV-esque dying tremelo seagull effects on the spine tingling 'Twist' (spaced out). This 7" is absolutely essential if you're a indie fan. Simple as that! (SOTW)

What the label says:

The duo Tillmanns consists of Anders Tillman and Björn Fridholm, who make their debut with “Run EP”, four tracks with metallic guitar sounds winding through layers of icy, minimalistic synthesizers and pulsating drum machines. Life-affirming pop melodies where melancholia is right underneath the surface. Tillmanns sound like no others today, an electric dream in bleached colours accompaning rainy and windy pavements somewhere in Göteborg where echoes of The Field Mice, The Wake, My Bloody Valentine and Stockholm Monsters can be heard.
