MP3: Consequences - Come on

The best song from the Consequences demo is still the best song on their debut full-length album, though it must be said that the new version is substantially beefed up. No more Peter Bjorn and John drum loop (from "I don't know what I want us to do" off their first album), instead we're treated to a lush full band arrangement with backing vocals provided by none other than Marit Bergman and Frida Hyvönen. The first single "Release me from love" is a good'un, but this here's a total barn-burner.
