Komeda - Binario

I wouldn't say that Komeda is following in ABBA's footsteps, far from it, but as they are the only other Swedish musical import people cannot help but compare - until they hear them.

Pulling from almost every vein of music imaginable, Komeda manages to weave a very tight mix of an overwhelming amount of sounds. In Komeda's smoothest moments, there's a vague resemblance--heavy synthesizers, infectious melodies--but even then they tend to be more energetic than Nina Persson and her compatriots, their tunes infused with a compelling excitement. At their wildest, in performance, you might be reminded of Devo. With good old-fashioned drums/ bass/ guitar pushing things along underneath the layers of futuristic keyboards, it's clear that Komeda like to rock (and this doesn't even quite describe the sound).

This multi-talented, jazz-rock-pop addicted gang is one of my all time favorite best kept secrets. Pop on!
