To Where The Wild Things Are

As a bigtime Broadcast fan I was deeply saddened when Trish Keenan died and Broadcast were no more... but now I am overwhelmed that a band carrying the same atmosphere and background has come along to ease my fix.Theres no doubt this Swedish group got their playbook from Broadcast and Stereolab but I am delighted to say this album is as strong as anything these bands did- I really would put this up against the Noise made by people in a heartbeat and I love that album like a family member.Where the wild things are hits all the right moods in a hazy druggy mix of downtempo shoegaze electronics and beats. Space age pop- 60s psychedelia and even some ambient folk and krautrock. A near perfect blend and set of songs and instrumentals and a must own album .

Nice music to work to.

The 2nd album from this Swedish band has a startlingly gorgeous and affective outer space dream-pop sound that oscillates in the wind like pure gold chimes of melodic nirvana. The use of vintage instruments (vibraphone, organ, mellotrons, tremolo guitar, moog) gives the music a warm, fluid feel. Reverberating ribbons of hypnotic psychedelic melody twirl in a relaxing pleasure-pull of sparkling organic electronics and trippy 60s influenced sounds, where they gel in a satisfying and gently thrilling aura of druggy beauty. Sounds a bit like a mix of Flaming Lips, the Beach Boys, Mazzy Star, Mercury Rev, Broadcast, Stereolab, School of Seven Bells. “To Where the Wild Things Are…” is a dreamy dance of woodland pixies and happy harmonic aliens come to celebrate the whispery warmth of their existence in an otherworldly atmospheric exultation of sound. Nice.

Looks to be the band's third CD, as Death And Vanilla are from Malmo, Sweden. Best described as neo-psych / indie pop. Tracks that I liked best include the six-minute opener "Necessary Distortions", the well-played "California Owls", "Time Travel", the beautiful dream-like "The Hidden Reverse" and "Moogskogen". I realize that I now need to add their other two discs - their self-titled debut and 'Vampyr' to my never-ending want list. Might draw in fans and followers of Tame Impala, Sigur Ros and Helio Sequence.

Excellent item, great seller
