Friendly Boyfriend – Pick Up!
Out of stock
$9.00
Previously known as The Ground Pounders – Vihtori & Tyra Hasselrot Uksila have taken their lofi industrial-jangle pop to new realms, embracing their pop-roots to 100%.
With the base of GP still intact, it’s been colored with all the things which makes Happiest Place tick – hooky melodies, harmonies & wall-of-sound! The mind looks for a reference point – NZ noise pop, the contemporary Gothenburg circle, perhaps a Big Star on nitrous oxide(?)!
So once again – Happiest Place Records brings you the most perfect pop single out of Scandinavia this year! Four tracks of pure distorted pop bliss!
For fans of: The brother Kilgours, Guided By Voices, Pumice, corrupted Beat Happenings, Vaselines & Galaxie 500.
