I'm From Barcelona - Sing!!
So I think it's about time I acknowledged my love for swedish pop and for Sweden in general. I love the little socialist country. Sweden is home to stylish yet affordable furniture, gorgeous scenery, and the cutest music ever.
With that said, it should be no surprise to learn that I'm From Barcelona are actually from Sweden. These 20-something friends play fun and energetic pop music and aren't ashamed to throw in a bunch of handclaps and "na na na"s every now and then. They've been called the Swedish Arcade Fire, and I guess that comparison would ring true if the Swedes were considerably less attractive (don't hate, I love those Canadians) and more dramatic. Seriously, these kids are pretty carefree. The two "heavy" songs deal with chickenpox and reluctance to wear glasses. CAN YOU HANDLE THAT? ARE YOU SURE?
Sing!! is their six-song EP. It's definitely feel-good music.
