The torrent of guitar notes tumbling out at the start of ‘It Was Everything Everything’ tells you that you’re in Telecaster heaven. The second album from the dual-guitar Swedes owes a massive debt to the Strokes and Television but the effect is as exciting as listening to either of those bands. Strokes-like hurtling guitars mark out ‘Miss You’ while the prickly ‘Yes (I’m Coming Out)’ offsets guitars with keyboards for a more restrained effect. Joel Lindström’s vocals are always high in the mix apart from on the instrumental ‘Kamelen’ where the guitars spank out a honeyed jangle. It’s not a huge departure from the self-titled debut – a little more minor-key melancholy perhaps - but they carry off that New York guitar sound with style. Did I mention there were lots of guitars?
