Swedish pop reminds me of the razorcuts and that's reason enough to listen.

The maturation of this Swedish Pop Band means a bit less Rickenbacker jangle and some extra oomph in the guitars effects, a lick of exploration, there's a few Field Mice albums in Starlet's record collection/collective unconscious. Sonic frosting for the purely brilliant songwriting and arranging going on, front and center, Starlet adorns their forlorn lovesongs with an elemental beauty.

VINYL FORMAT. Sweden's jangle-pop heroes Starlet gets all musing and mellow on "Her Diary & Herself", sounds like Belle & Sebastian, and who are we to argue? The A-side's taken from the upcoming album (due soonish), gets even dreamier (if possible) on their Nick Drake-ish boohoo ballad "Long Lost Love", get your hankies out!

Starlet is yet another Swedish band turning out collections of sweet and pleasant pop, references to the Acid House Kings and the Cardigans' Life are pretty much unavoidable here, even if Starlet doesn't quite have the qualities of either of those bands. From the One You Left Behind manages to avoid being cloyingly sweet, and delivers a number of rather likeable pop tunes. ~ Nitsuh Abebe, All Music Guide

Several bands have been able to emulate the sound of the Smiths and put their own twist on it, while others just sound like a shabby imitation of the influential band. Starlet falls somewhere in between on When Sun Falls on My Feet. At times, Jonas FSrm sounds like he's straining to be Morrissey, with all the lyrical prose along for the ride. The band has its heart in the right place, but it's lacking the passion or songwriting to go with it. The acoustic numbers, such as {&"Make That Stone B   [ read more ]
