Finally the first The Lieblings song is out in the public. I’ve been really looking forward to this since I heard that Sam Shingler (Montevideo, The Pansies), Andy J. Prinkkilä (The Sugarrush), Timo Silvennoinen, (The Sugarrush) and Katja Tolonen (The Wrecking Queens) formed a new fuzz pop band together. A younger version of me would have already travelled to Helsinki to see their concert, but the lazy current version of me have only been impatiently waiting on the home sofa. Anyway, they recorded an album last summer and just posted a “live in studio” video from the album sessions. I have no idea when exactly the album is supposed to hit our hearts, but based on this video I can tell it won’t miss the target when it does come out. Hopefully it takes a little less time than The Sugarrush’s third has taken. This is Romance Kills by The Lieblings.

The second Delay Trees album Doze came out on 19th of october and it’s another great addition to Soliti catalogue. Well partly great in my case, because I have some issues with it. The overall quality is on a very high level as everyone can see/hear, but not all of it is actually my cup of orange juice. Some of the songs are just too long, slow and dreamy for my narrow-minded taste that has been formed by listening to three minute pop songs and whiskey-soaked country ballads. So basicly the album doesn’t lack quality, I lack the patience to enjoy it fully. It’s sad state of affairs for me, because some of the songs are absolutely brilliant like this video song HML below. I wish I would find the key to enjoy Pause as much, but that might not happen anytime soon.
