If you have not heard this band before, this is so strong 'n hot, we can justly say `this is where to begin`. It`s their most evolved, confident and assured release to these ears, filled with all the guitar energy and spunky melodies and hooks their previous outings only hinted at even though the four that preceded "5 AM" are uniformly recommended. Blending classic, hard guitar driven power pop (Grass Show, This Perfect Day, The Drowners and, occasionally, the rockier side of The Cardigans) and mid/late 90`s Brit-Pop (classic Blur, Menswear, Super Furry Animals and Supergrass), The Confusions are thoroughly modern, hooky-as-hell and supremely in control of crafting sweet `n loud power pop with emphasis on the power.
Not Lame
Pang! Den genomsympatiske motorn i Sundsvalls The Confusions; Micke Andersson-Knut, låter riktigt jävla elak på "5 AM". Bandet som tidigare haft stämpeln "lite för intelligent pop för sitt eget bästa" gör här en kovändning, spelar replokalsskitig indierock som glöder så mycket att Sundsvall borde brinna ner igen. Men ur all den här glöden kristalliserar sig popmelodier som jag skulle ge min högra, nej vänta, vänstra hand för att kunna skriva.
Så här vitala har Confusions aldrig varit.
