A robeless Swedish Spree- I'm From Barcelona

Postby airboy paul » Sat Apr 29, 2006 11:06 am

Poor chaps, they'll surely be compared to the Spree everywhere (should they ever take off), but darn they look and sound cool. So yeah, despite their name, they're Swedish I think. Have ordered their album and single online (and darn- scandinavian sites all seem to be expensive shipping out of their little lands).

Website here:

www.imfrombarcelona.com

Look at the two videos (especially We're From Barcelona) and bask in the pure unadulterated geeky feel to them. I love it when music just makes me grin like a goon.

Very Architecture in Helsinki -ish in musical style.

Do all of them DO stuff, or just hang around on stage in fancy clothes?

Yeah, they reminded me of ...Helsinki, or perhaps more like what I wanted/expected ...Helsinki to sound like.

Have no idea if they all do stuff, not really too fussed though :D

Rec & Play is a brilliant song.

We're From Barcelona sounds a lot like The Hidden Cameras to me. I like it.

I also really like that video, as I think I'm already in love with like, seven of them, even the odd Teasley Muppet one. I also like how they show that one guy mess up and then his friend laughs at him.

They're loving it now.

So am I.

Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I also like the part in the Collection of Stamps video where he slides onto the piano and totally tea-bags that chick. heh

P.P.S. How did you hear Rec & Play? I can't find a link to listen to anything past the first few songs. Did you find it elsewhere?

I looked around and www.megastore.se seemed to be the cheapest place (I think) with the postage. Although the single may not be essential- as three of the four tracks are from the album (although I think there's a two second difference in one of them, so I may have to check :D).

The album said it was 'copy controlled', and so I was a bit worried I couldn't record it onto our computer, but it did so I'm not too sure what happened there.

I did also laugh muchly at that. & again now, the first time I've watched the videos since having the album. Damn I love them. Must get around to getting a passport again and summoning the courage to fly over to Sweden.
Their album rules. Must make more people like them.
