Sterling Estadio camp-let Crunchy Frog

Thu, 17 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0800

I've never heard of Sterling before (pardon my ignorance), but judging from these 6 tracks, they might sport beards, and they're definitely Danish (or very wacky non-Danish people). This reminds me a lot of The Shins and the first stand-out track ("Ubesvarat Opkald") almost sounds like a The Shins cover, but sung in Danish (all of these songs are sung in Danish, fortunately it sounds ok). Now and then Sterling come across as a bit dated ("Koldbrand" sounds like some dodgy ballad from the 80s, and "Vinterfobi" has some quite tedious vocoder parts), but in general this EP is a bit above average, thanks to the first song.
