    IFR002

    Artist: The Soft Eyes

    Label: Massproduktion

    "Lo-fi pop, fuzzy indoorsy folk, their lovely single "Never The Last Time" and a winsome acoustic cover of My Bloody Valentine's "When You Sleep", which features guest vocals from Heikki chanteuse and Concretes drummer Maria Eriksson. Also helping our are Bear Quartet guitarist Jari Haapalainen, playing a banjo.? Personal Pick of 2005, Jim, Parasol distribution (US)


    "Not too far from Heikki, also not far from Kings of Convenience territory, the album is a charming, relaxed and sweet listen. Their songs are mostly unassuming, preferring to nestle into your consciousness rather than leaping in with big hooks. A couple, like the bouncy "Attitude Problems" (which features Heikki's Maria Eriksson on harmony vocals and Jari Haapalainen on banjo) and "Me and the Others" rise above a whisper but do it with restraint and a light touch...."
