Music discovery is the only good reason to get into the music blog racket, so it was with some excitement that I stumbled upon the first demo songs from Those Dancing Days last February. In the post below I wrote about two of the songs but for this repost I’ve added one more song (“Disc Hoe”) and videos for the songs “Hitten” and “Those Dancing Days”.
“Hitten”
“Those Dancing Days”
———————–
If you listen real closely you might hear the buzz. It could be whisper between two girls at a high school in Gothenburg or an overheard conversation between the aisles at Pet Sounds or maybe a gleeful proclamation (complete with emoticons) on a message board at the Emmaboda Festival site. Who are they all talking about? Could it be the band Those Dancing Days?
I’ve heard the term wonky pop used to describe these girls (yes, girls! they’re still in high school) also people hear a little Pipettes. The 5 girls romp through the suggestive retro pop of “Tasty Boy” and then they switch gears slightly to the more polished GoGo beats and Siousxie Sioux vocals of the song “Hitten”. Remember these are just demos and I believe the girls had to get back to class for finals after recording them, so take that all into account.
