Flunk
Another Wednesday guest post from Coe, who writes:
"For Sleepyheads Only is a drowsy, dreamy bit of froth that packs a musical punch. The main singer, Anja Øyen Vister, has a kinda wasted voice, reminiscent of Beth Orton. These guys seem to inspire great quotes, so I'll let others speak. Beatservice.no sez, 'The thing about Flunk is quite simple. It is all about the love of music - and the lack of words'. Their label calls the album 'cool yet incendiary'. Yeah, what they said.
"I just got their new album, Morning Star. Sounds like some marketing genius told them that If they wanted to sell more albums, they should be less out there, and emphasize Anja more. The result is nice - I'd probably consider it pretty darned good if it weren't in comparison to FSO. But FSO is wonderfully varied and interesting. And who can resist lyrics like 'I miss the chemistry of your kiss'?"
