- I Was A King - Old Friends (Sounds Familyre) [MySpace]
- Chamber pop meets psychedelic noise pop with tinny male vocals. Horns (often sounding synthesized), woodwinds, strings, piano, banjo, hand claps and theremin all play a part.
- This Norwegian five-piece might have fit in with the Elephant 6 collective.
Would've made the Beatles, Zombies and Beach Boys proud. Just look at that album art.
- Twelve quick tracks in thirty minutes, and one, a track that is just three voices singing three chords, is only fourteen seconds.
- The album has a fast pace. The intensive drumming helps keep things really interesting.
