Under Review: The Tough Alliance - New Chance

I was looking for some new autumn music. Personally I like fun poppy upbeat stuff sorta in the vein of the happier Jens Lekman tracks. If that's your thing too then check out fellow Swedish musicians The Tough Alliance. Their new New Chance LP is like all the best parts of Peter, Bjorn & John without all the hype. Don't get thrown off by the Arabic chanting at the start of the lead track, it opens up quite quickly into a catchy electropop rhythm that you just wanna play for all your friends. Or at least swing your hips around on those metro rides to school.
