(One of the) best songs of 2008 (”Why did I trust you?”) / Take the pills!

Fucking adorable. /…/ The sweetest female vocals in a country seam-bursting with sweet female vocals. Sounds a bit too precious, right? I’d agree if it weren’t for the six minutes of heads-up songcraft (two minutes are a Wham! cover) that make the Garlands the songwriters to beat in the overcrowded swedish indie-pop market. /…/ Eight perfect minutes. / David Ritter, Cokemachineglow

I LOVE The Garlands. /…/ As expected, their debut EP is full of super sweet vocals and gloriously jangling melodies. My favorite of all, “David,” might be one of the best pop songs I’ve heard all year and will bring more than a smile to anyone who, like me, has been desperately clinging onto their small batch of old Free Loan songs, hoping that one day they’d feel that same way again. Like I said, totally in love. / Matt, Skatterbrain

“David” is everything you could ask for an indie pop song on a Friday morning: A fey female vocal, a double-clap backbeat, and guitars that, y’know, jangle. /The Rawking Refuses to Stop

As welcome as the arrival of spring. / Martijn, Think Small

El ep de debut de the Garlands y, para mí, todas esas sensaciones, las de poner en el plato mis vinilos de Heavenly, descubrir a bandas como los Fresones Rebeldes o the Field Mice, escuchar de nuevo la c-86 o recuperar las canciones de talulah gosh, se me concentran con este ep… /El Blog de la Nadadora
