So imagine, if you will, that the
female half of Abba had a couple of daughters who went off the rails fuelled by
a trust fund and the burden of being daughters of pop royalty. Then, one day,
high on schnapps and teenage bitterness they stumble across their mothers' home
studio and decide to bash out some 'ironic' electro pop. 'Sore Feet &
Heartbeats' is the result of said ironic jam but the problem they fail
completely as this is a genuinely great indie-electro-pop tune with sass, class
and a misleading lightness. The beats and bass bounce while the melodies floats
airily through the summer air giving the honey roasted harmonies of Sanna and
Rebecka space to soar. The defiance of the lyrics ("Let's forget about the
others cos they're not worth our time") adds a little sourness to an
otherwise sweet tune and seals this Swedish duo as a quality act to take
seriously...but not too seriously.
