MP3: Yvonne - Modern love
Two things! First, the reunion of Yvonne. I mentioned it in passing a few weeks ago and now the date (June 7 @ Debaser Medis in Stockholm) is just about upon us. Honestly, I'm much more familiar with their reputation than with their music, but I do know their big hit "Modern love" which is a great song. As for them being heralded as Eskilstuna's answer to Joy Division, well, you can hear a bit of the darkness that would become more prominent in post-Yvonne act Strip Music, but this particular track is 100% indie pop. Which leads me into point #2 - the comp I pulled this track from, "Svensk indie 1988-2006 - En kärleks historia", will finally be available in a brand new English-language edition. NONS has informed me that copies are now ready, so hopefully I'll be getting 'em really really soon. It should go without saying, but it's a great comp and I'm eager to pour over the copious liner notes in a language I can easily understand.
