Album Review: The Slow Summits have ‘Every Intention’ to blast a ray of luminescent pop sunshine into your ears all the way from Sweden.
Anyone else remember the children's Swedish detective series Agaton Sax by Swedish author Nils-Olof Franzén and illustrated by Åke Lewerth, with Quentin Blake illustrating the English editions? Agaton Sax also ran the local newspaper, the Byoping Post. I loved this series for its quirky sense of humour and cheeky delivery. In a complete non-sequitur, The Slow Summits hail from Linköping, Sweden, but to be fair their bright sparkling music evokes the same sort of deep seated nostalgia in me, and I love it just as much. For those who know, there is a nuclear blast of recognition for their C86/Postcard/Sarah Records/Flying Nun sound: bright jingly jangly guitars, soaring melodies, and respectable air of naivety and tweeness in their sound.
