Lengthy, but first-rate new EP from Cure-inspired Swedish shoegazing act, Jeniferever
Review
Jeniferever are a four piece band from Sweden, which recently supported I Like Trains on a British tour.
The title track is over nine minutes long. It starts off having an element of Americana, like something in the vein of Mark Mulcahy or even Jeff Buckley, but as it slowly builds up Jeniferever show their true colours. They love the Cure. It is like one long Cure album track. It takes time to grow but by the end one has become totally lost in the music. A trumpet towards the end adds a sudden different rhythm, and the whole track works wonders.
'When Our Hands Clasped Starts Off' has a haunting, but poppy shoegazing sound which again is like the Cure, while. singer Kristofer Jönson's vocals recall Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout during their 'Swoon' era.
'A Tale Set Off Of Brick Lane' has a summery cinemascopic sound and ends up again in very loud Cure fashion. It finishes with 'Openings to Stories' which has trancey guitars and strings.
A very fine band.
