A threesome in Liechtenstein

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | musiX

If you haven’t gathered already from reading TDoL, I’m a sucker for a good pop song. Don’t give my feeble brain a clutch of odd time-signatures, give me a hook (and warm production) that I can ride until the cows come home. Hold on … Sweden’s Liechtenstein just gave it to me …

The three-piece is set to release Survival Strategies In a Modern World June 2 on Slumberland Records. If the songs themselves don’t grab you, the shimmering vocals will. The surnameless Renée, Naemi and Elin blend their voices in buttery ’60s girl-group harmonies. There’s also a little yé-yé in songs like “Postcard” and “The End” and some post-punk gnarliness in “Roses In the Park.” Did I mention the harmonies?

I can see it now: Liechtenstein the three-member Swedish pop group that produces jangly, catchy songs will forever have to compete with Liechtenstein the 35,000-population micro-state that produces the majority of the world’s false teeth for Google search supremacy. So far the country has the edge. I’ll make it easy for you—find Liechtenstein the band right here.

“Roses In the Park” - Liechtenstein
