Sambassadeur - forward is all, 2010

"The Swedish quartet may not have reinvented the wheel with their third album, but it is safe to say that European is a pop-bombshell. Full to the brim with infectious hooks, clever word play, danceable beats and lush melodies backed by glorious horns and gorgeous strings. All the while, Anna Persson, again, showcasing herself as a formidable vocalist, and a with a strong case against Tracyanne Campbell for most badass twee chick on the block. If you enjoy your melodies sweet, your instrumentation lush and your lyrics jaded but personal, there will probably be much to love on European. It certainly would easily find it’s place in your car, blasting from speakers on the way to the beach, or on your headphones as you fall asleep. Yeah, it’s that kind of album."
