Album Review

The Horror The Horror
Wired Boy Child Tapete Records

Article written by - May 18, 2008

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?
