MP3: Cats On Fire - Garden lights
To further illustrate my point about only enjoying indiepop with significant oomph, here is a song from Finland's Cats On Fire off their new album "Our temperance movement". It rocks about as hard as Pelle Carlberg, but without his wit, there's not much to grab on to. The twelve-string guitar solo is quite nice as is the clarinet outro, but what of it? Nice guys finish last. Sweet, tender pop doesn't have to be so damn listless. Give me passion! Give me something to care about! Don't give me this.
