The Sounds Something To Die For on LP When it comes to sassy, confident, feel-good rock ’n’ roll, Sweden’s The Sounds are the gold standard. Even as they’ve evolved markedly since their 2002 breakthrough debut, Living In America, the Malmö-based quintet has remained true to their New Wave soul, delivering that perfect mix of sass and smarts, old and new, electric and electronic every time. Something To Die For is 100% The Sounds. Not only did the band produce the album themselves, but they wrote and recorded it in their very own studio over much of 2010. Songs like “Diana” show off The Sounds’ undeniable penchant for playful post-punk, while “The No No Song” is pure rock-pop rave-up, with Maja spitting vitriol through a vicious sneer: “It didn’t matter to you when it felt so right/And now you lost it all, well you’re not so bright.” All of it comes together perfectly on the titular song and album centerpiece, “Something To Die For” where, over the course of five and a half minutes, Jarre-like atmosphere dissolves into a speaker-crushing thump that climaxes in a winning collision of red hot guitars and icy keyboards. “It’s all about passion and dedication,” says Maja. “That’s what the title means...it’s something to be proud of, something to stand up for...something to die for.” |
