Suburban Kids With Biblical NamesWhat's that you say? "Oh Emily, I loved your swedish pop post! I downloaded I'm From Barcelona and then proceeded to soil myself with glee!" Well then don't throw your underwear in the wash just yet, my friend. I bring you more music from the fine Scandinavian country of Sweden.
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names started my whole swedish pop frenzy. I listened to their song "Rent a Wreck" and was immediately hooked. So catchy! So many "ba ba ba"s! So cute without being overly saccharine! The band is made up of Johan Hedberg and Peter Gunnarsson. They play shiny pop songs with clever Stephin Merritt-esque lyrics. Let's get to it.
This is their first EP. 4 songs long, #1 is a must-have for first time listeners. It includes the unusually cheery "Love Will," a break up song in which the guys slyly mention Joy Division. Yeah. Get it? Yeah. I love this EP.
4 more songs for your enjoyment. "Funeral Face" is very island-y and "Teenage Poetry" is very funny.
#3 is their debut album. All 12 songs are so so good. Handclaps? Check. Whistling? Check. Other aural awesomeness? Check. Sweet Jesus, I love this genre.
Buy everything here, from one of the greatest labels ever.
