I was excited to discover the Stockholm based group Bored Man Overboard. From the photos of the band and the artwork on their new e.p. I was sure I’d discovered Sweden’s version of Arcade Fire or at the very least a Scandinavian Decemberists. Unfortunately that’s not the case. I was disappointed that with so many members and such an eclectic mix of instruments that the band’s sound was so restrained.
See for yourself by downloading the new e.p. Why Birds Return North free from the band’s Last.FM page here. “Love Is A Lie” is as close as the band comes to a marvelous cacophony of sound.
