Elias and the wizzkids first EP "The Dance". Complete with a cover of Oasis "Wonderwall". Wonderwall, Regreat and Autumn leaves only available on this EP.
"Elias & the Wizzkids' single "The Dance" starts out with Elias Åkesson singing about how much coffee and tea he's had to drink, which is pretty obvious from the song's jittery tempo, rushing strums, and caffeine-high piano. Only Maria Formgren's flute sounds like it's calm and collected, as if trying to keep this rowdy lot in line. "The Dance" might be called twee if it slowed down long enough; even the song's Decemberistic video features a footrace... that breaks into a soccer tournament... that breaks into a midfield dance party. Elias sings about trying to outrun some unnamed restlessness: he goes to a coffeehouse, he goes to a movie, he wanders around, he finally goes home and starts dancing his heart out. Even his neighbor's threats to call the police can't bring him down. Here's hoping he doesn't switch to decaf anytime soon. And here's to not thinking about why they're called the Wizzkids."
