My latest new music crush is on this wonderful indiepop band called The Afternoon Naps with influences from, according to themselves, Felt and Shop Assistans. And sure, one can´t argue about those similarities. Anyhow, this is perfect pop, just like Felt.Is "Rain of Crystal Spires" one of the best songs of the 80´s?
Felt have also influenced my earlier recommendation Cats on Fire, which besides the way they use organ in their music, can be discovered in their song title "I am the White Mantled King" most likely referring to the Felt song "Dismantled King is off the throne".

Architecture in Helsinki
No, the headline doesn´t talk about the Australian band. This time Im talking about the "architecture" in Finnish music, where the indie scene has got more established in recent years. Since my mother is from Finland, I thougt it was suiting for me to put together a list of some of my favourite songs from Finland in recent years. Notable acts include Regina, Montevideo and of course Cats on Fire.
The latter band have gained most international fame (rightly so) of all the Finnish bands. The Drumming Cat certainly does not hope he is one of the cats on fire...Mjouch that would hurt!
