名ギタリスト、ヨアキム復活!
メンバーの嬉しさがとても伝わってきます。
彼らの住むスウェーデンという国は、日本からものすごく遠いのに
音楽を媒体として気持ちが通じ合うって、とても不思議なことですね。
一時期のスウェディッシュブームとは明らかに異なるバンドの
再出発を記念する、最高傑作です。

2005年のアルバム。少しだけ元気なドラムに乗せて歌われるpale fountainsのようなメロディー。この新譜は一度やめたメンバーが再びバンドに戻ってきてその復帰作でもあるらしい。ほんの少しだけ大人になった感じ。
アコースティックギターとハンドクラップが印象的なdo what you wanna do、シャッフルで4分に刻まれるオルガンがとても優しげなthis heart is a stone、とても切ない'T⇒'Vm⇒'W(これを多用する事は一定の雰囲気に束縛されてしまいがち)なポップス王道のサビの男女ヴォーカルが気持ち良い7days。ディスコというかハウスというかそういうのを無理やりこのバンドでやったような微笑ましい&この感性が羨ましいギターポップtonight is forever、どの曲もヒラメキを持ったメロディーが良い感じ。

前作で脱退していたGt.のヨアキムも復帰し新体制となったAHKの新作は、もう、言葉にならないくらい美しい。
スウェディッシュ・サウンド特有のねじれたポップ・センスは薄く、牧歌的な朗らかさと、潔癖主義的な緊張感が絶妙に共存している。そして若干リヴァーヴをかけ過ぎた音処理は、ベル・アンド・セバスチャンの2NDを聴いているかのようなあの感覚。
ネオ・アコースティックと括られるバンドはイメージ先行で内容自体は結構イマイチじゃないの?な作品も多いけど、AHKは本当にソング・ライティングが卓越している。前作からメンバー入りした女性Vo.ジュリアの歌声も例にないくらい美しい。
一曲も捨てるところがない。究極の素朴にして究極のイノセンス。
これからの季節に是非一枚もっておいて損はないと思いますよ。超名盤です。

Twee Classic!
2009年5月27日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Swedish indie pop group Acid House Kings, by the year 2002, already had two albums under their collective belt. But it wasn't until third album "Mondays Are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays Are Like Wednesdays" that the band honed their distinctive twee style into a cohesive mixture of delirious hand claps, sunny guitar melodies, and late night fireside lyrics.
You probably wouldn't guess that from their moniker, which admittedly recalls some obscure stoned seventies garage rock group rather than a cheery European twee band.
Though founding member Niklas Andergard provides much of the vocals, some of the best tracks are helmed by relative newcomer Julia Lannerheim. Lannerheim's assuaging voice trickles along the melody of the song like creekwater, lending an already soothing track an airy springtime feel.
"Say Yes If You Love Me" is rife with lyrics that would typically induce eye-rolling in the hands of another artist, which makes covering the work of Acid House Kings a tricky business at best. Within their artful hands, however, the track instead induces a knowing smile. It's a song that should be pegged as a one-off soundtrack single for a children's film, but it is so blissfully pleasant adults will keep it for their own.
Sing Along with Acid House Kings displays an even more dramatic creative growth for the band. Nearly every track is a standout, and as a bonus the album comes packaged with one of the most uniquely tailored companion dvds in recent memory.
Continuing the "sing along" theme the title suggests, the dvd features the band performing mundane tasks such as reading the newspaper and making coffee while a karaoke-style lyric banner assists the viewer with the sing along. Also included are a couple of promotional music videos.
With the consistently lengthy period between albums and many of its members extending themselves into outside projects, such as the excellent Club 8, it's unlikely we will hear from Acid House Kings until somewhere deep into this year if even then. Here's hoping we hear from them soon!

I love this album, but have to say it nearly escaped me because of the name of the band. Less "twee" than Belle and Sebastian, I reckon they are more like a cross between Saint Etienne and Camera Obscura, both of whom are superb, so there you go!

According to Wikipedia this is their 4th album but i first came across them much later, at the time of their next album "music sounds better with you", which i absolutely love and there lies the problem...this album in isolation is very pleasant and enjoyable, showing some good signs of what was to come, but unfortunately is not a patch on their next album.
I've given it numerous more spins than i would normally do before writing a review but it just doesn't have the exceptionally catchy songs that they would later produce.
It does have the usual sweet pop/60's harmonies, summery vocals (Julia does have a gorgeous voice), tambourines/handclaps and orchestration. There are good tracks notably "will you love me in the morning" which has male vocals and a different musical feel (a spaghetti western guitar?) but there just aren't enough especially memorable tracks.
Having said all that i appear to be the only reviewer who thinks this way so what do i know (?) but i'd definitely advise newcomers to Acid House Kings to start with their next album as i doubt i would have explored much further into their catalogue had i heard this one first.
