Timo Räisänen
Pussycat CDS
Razzia Records
Sweden's Timo Räisänen is famous in his mother country for being in Håkan Hellström's backing band and being a member of Her Majesty. This is the third single from his first solo album that was released earlier this year, and even though the actual album is a bit of a hit and miss affair, this is a fine, fine song. It's classic happy-go-lucky Swedish indie rock, and I find it hard to think that anyone could not like this song the first time they hear it. It's a bit like Shout Out Louds but less quirky and more melodic. The b-side is surprisingly bad though.
