For some reason, a lot of Scandinavian rock and roll bands wind up sounding like stoned and/or sleepy Americans. This Danish trio is a perfect example; they sound like a bunch of guys from Milwaukee who chugged a couple of bottles of NyQuil, then fired up the Fostex.
"Find the Tunes" is a folkish rocker that sounds a little like Bob Dylan doing lo-fi; the title is oddly prophetic, as the group strays a bit from the tuneful straight-and-narrow, but this only adds to the song's shambolic charm. There's also a pleasing hint of drone near the end, and subtle evidence of e-bow.
"Jamison" is a more straightforward mid-tempo pop-rocker that sounds like an outtake from an early Monkees recording session. The jangle factor is increased here, but as with "Find the Tunes", close listening reveals a subtle undertone of off-kilter psychedelia; more is happening here than first meets the ear.
Neither tune is essential listening, and both run about a minute longer than they really should. The selling point here is the goofy stuff that's going on deep in the mix, which will help to make these songs more rewarding after multiple listens. If you have no appreciation for subtlety, or for NyQuil-loving Danes, give this a pass.
