Our baby got reviewed
“Four” got reviewed by the fine e-zine altcountry.nl (the translation is done by me and Babelfish, if you find anything wrong with it you’ll have to live with it). We got three and a half running horses out of five:
Approximately a year and a half ago we cheered Heartache & Pain, a compilation with alt.country from the Swedish region Jamtland. Now we have Six Figure Transatlantic with “Four“, an ep with five new songs. I don’t know much about “Heartache & Pain“, but leaning on the review of it the songs on “Four” has moved in a pop direction. Not that that is a problem, because even without the banjo sounds, the thoughtful songs of Six Figure Transatlantic are considerably persuading. In “Pink Heart” for example the guitars circle timidly as a couple in love that lost their chance. The singing of the two front men Göran Klensmeden and Mattias Dahl (no idea which sings the lead) is very nice . The not so obvious cover of Cyndi Laupers “Girls Just Wanna Fun” is very appropriate in between the four originals. Six Figure Transatlantic seem to have more than a hundred songs. To bad that we must do with only five on “Four“. But well, better few Six Figure Transatlantic than no Six Figure Transatlantic.
