BLISSFUL: Vitamins
Imported from Sweden by Listening Post Music
Blissful - hard to get a hold of this band but the music is truly memorable. Sweet but not sugary; melodic but not too poppy.
Great combination of vocals, hooks and understated backing make this a CD a treasure worth having.
Vitamins starts off with From Sundown To Sundown which sounds like The Wannadies or Eggstone mixed with (here`s an old fave for some of you) The Supernaturals, The Cardigans and The Grass Show. And most of the other 10 songs that follow fall inside this sound. This was released during the height of mid 90`s Brit-Pop Explosion and it fits nicely as a timepiece in the movement, but Swedish pop bands always had their own take on the movement, the sound making it distincitively their own. Such is the case with this CD. This one flew under the radar then, too much coming out at the time---a lot of great releases had the same problem. Even Swede-pop fans, have been looking for this one for a long time as it`s no where to be found. Until now. Again.
Blissful effortlessly sound fresh and familiar with catchy hooks that
stick deep enough that you think they have always been there. A refreshing
display of nice jangling guitars, solid rhythms and sugar-sweet harmonies
lighting the fuse on a tasty box of Swedish styled chocolates.
