Den Svenska EP
Despite the title, Hillary And The Democrats are a
four-piece from Liverpool; although there is a certain Nordic pop element in
the mould of The Cardigans in evidence from the opening bars of the bouncy,
jaunty opening track, Let’s Play Kubb.
Harry Nilsson has
a playful almost Beach Boys swagger to it, while Vinaigrette moulds wilfully awkward lyrics and lovely bright guitar
sounds to create a skilful, soaring, melodic, modern Mersey Beat track.
The EP closes in confident mood with Excuses, Excuses; if there was to be a soundtrack to summer 2012-
should it ever arrive- these guys would be in the running for a place on it.
Yes they’re a bit geeky and ever so cheerful, but this is the time and place
for that, even if we haven’t got the weather for it!
