"Ever experience weather that's both cool and warm at the same time? Well, that's the sensation that Club 8 radiate - a mix of polar elements, all occurring simultaneously. Swedish duo Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergard combine light as fluff melodies and deep blue sounds with end-of-the-season melancholia, all articulated by Komstedt's breathy croon: "So you drift / when the days grow cold / away from me / and won't look back," she sings wistfully on the album's opening track, "Love in December. This sets the tone of the album, which is shot through with a burnished Bergman-esque icy despair. The occasional glistening chorus, as on whispery "Falling From Grace" or the trip-hoppy "Keeping Track of Times," gives a sense of uplift - until you listen closely to what's being sung. Not that "Club 8" is a complete drag, but I wouldn't suggest putting it on if you're having a long, dark night of the soul."

This is HEAVENLY pop music

"In a few words : don't miss a cd of this group.
Each one of them is a little diamond.
Heavenly female vocals with sweet guitar tunes.
Not U.S.A.
Not British
Just Sueden pop at it's best !!!"
