Moonbabies
'Moonbabies at the Ballroom'
Sweeping, bouncy boy/girl melodies -- it must be Sweden.
On their fourth album, this indie-pop duo -- multi-instrumentalists/ songwriters Carina Johansson and Ola Frick -- create what finally could be their Stateside breakthrough. Whether it's the gauzy, Fleetwood Mac-tinged harmonies of the hangover plaint "War on Sound" (heard last year on Grey's Anatomy) or "Shout It Out," which reconfigures a familiar guitar hook via Phil Spector, the Moonbabies deftly mix the accessible and the bizarre (two short, burbling synth instrumentals), assembling marvelously eclectic but still coherent pop.
