Breakfast at Phoebe's
Birds are singing with me MikaelJoonatan

Article written by Mary B - Jun 23, 2010

Breakfast at Phoebe's
Breakfast at Phoebe's
Some EPs are memorable and this is one of them not least for the most beautiful female vocals I have heard in some time. Even when Tua Sofia is swearing it sounds like she’s quoting poetry.

The opening song, ‘Birds are singing with me’ just draws you in with her first sentence. ‘Rain of ash’ is a tragic sounding song with ‘dusky’ woodwind instruments and would not sound out of place in a French philosophical black and white film. No surprises really as this is a French-Finnish group with a distinct sound. The final song ‘Festival smile’ is a lot more upbeat and a perfect song for a sunny day. ‘I am sure that you are the love of my life, at least for today, at least for awhile’. Simply Brilliant.

It was all composed and written by Mikael Kuosmanen and their debut album should be worth waiting for.
