Almost a
year a go the second album of the Swedish band Emerald Park ‘For Tomorrow’ has
been released. Strangely enough the album has not yet been reviewed by
Gothtronic. That’s a shame, cause this music may not be ground breaking, ‘For
Tomorrow’ is absolutely worth listening. Especially fans of bands such as Death
Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, Pulp and White Lies may appreciate this album.
Although these five Swedish musicians never reach the extremely high level of
Pulp and Arcade Fire, we can say they made a consistent and enthusiastic album.
An album filled with catchy and not too heavy indie pop songs. Too bad for
Emerald Park we already know this music from Pulp, Editors and Arcade Fire,
otherwise you might call this original. Now Emerald Park can be called a
welcome addition to this genre. And luckily enough they do have enough quality
for that difficult task. Not because every song is a small piece of art, but
songs as ‘The commonfield’ and ‘Lights of Sunday’ got the right to be heard.
Even though they’re released almost a year ago.....
