Moonbabies

"War On Sound"/"Don't Ya Know"











…..It’s a beautiful start. If you don’t love Moonbabies within the first ten seconds of “War On Sound,” then you probably won’t like them at all. It’s easy to be skeptical when songs are as instantly gratifying as this one, but after repeated listens, the song has remained on replay in my mental jukebox. “Don’t Ya Know” has fared just as well, with its Postal Service style programming. The Swedish duo has managed to craft an amazingly lush pop album with Moonbabies At The Ballroom (due 5/29 in the U.S.) with a handful of songs just as addictive as these. They’re best likened to Canada’s Stars; an acoustic/electronic hybrid of romantic indie-pop. With the bands profile elevating on a day-to-day basis (“War On Sound” was included in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy), it won’t be long before they’re on everyone’s list. Mark another one for Sweden.
