  • Days Come And Go

    BU043DD

    Artist: Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck

    Label: Blow Up Records

    Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck – an 8-piece indie-pop orchestra from Ängelholm, Sweden – release their debut album 'Days Come and Go'.

    Over the last few years, Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck have been recording songs, just a few at a time, describing themselves as “the slowest recording band ever”. Everything has done in the true DIY indie spirit - drums were recorded in their rehearsal room and almost everything else in their parents’ apartment. Despite their admittance that “nobody really knew which buttons to push”, by the time Blow Up Records made contact in summer 2007, they had quite a collection of songs – both beautiful and unforgettable. These songs, along with some newly recorded tracks, form their debut album Days Come And Go...

    "Wry, sincere hometown poetry" NME

    "Music to soundtrack endless summer days, lazy and sweet, beaches and fields drenched in light" PLAN B

    "God only knows why, but the Swedes are super proficient at doing pop music. Think The Concretes with strings and a folky/indie edge. Grand songs, delivered well. Belle and Sebastian and Neutral Milk Hotel in bed with Agnetha Fältskog?" STOOL PIGEON

    "Short, sweet and perfectly formed" NUDE

    "This is lovely, gentle folk inspired indie pop that invokes the idea of Jens Lekman fronting Belle & Sebastian." indie MP3
