The Sounds - Crossing The Rubicon

"Crossing The Rubicon" is the third album by Swedish band The Sounds in which the band maintain the sound of their previous albums and preserves the Nordic tradition of good pop bands with rock ambitions. 12 songs light, extremely melodic, with catchy choruses and Maja Ivarsson's voice reminding us frequently to Karen O. Pop in all its forms: epic, synth, dance, power, dream, almost always bright and strong but sometimes near to be insipid just saved by the Felix Rodriguez's guitar which is responsible for giving substance to the sound when it begins to get so sweetie and danceable. Pop pure and delicious, with great punch and a sleek simplicity. Without pretensions, "Crossing The Rubicon" is a light and perhaps slightly superficial record but absolutely enjoyable. -CORANNIEIT-
