New mp3 today from Swedish melancholic pop band Valley Days. I was originally going to post one of the band's excellent broody ballads, but lack of sleep (see above and remember- I start work early) made me go with this upbeat number instead. It's just what I need to get me going this Friday. Anyhow, this song is the final track from the band's debut full-length "We like pretending" which they recorded and released themselves. It's quite impressive because not only is the sound quality great, but so is the artwork and packaging. As for the music, it's got everything I look for in the genre: huge hooks, keening vocals and that uniquely Scandinavian quality of gloom and heavy-heartedness. Dig that three-over-four melody line in the verse, too. If you like this, be sure to check out the band's website where you can contact the band to order the album and download more tunes.
