Jettie
Heading for Mornings
Astro Magnetics
2004
Rating: 7 Swedish fish out of 10
Try and imagine a combination of the Red House Painters' morose, somber sentiment coupled with instrumentation that floats somewhere near the universe of the Appleseed Cast, and you've got a decent idea what Jettie brings to the table. Coming straight outta Sweden, these lads have released a beautiful debut full-length in "Headings for Mornings" after a couple of equally impressive EPs. It's accessible but not simplistic meloncholy pop music - it has the ability to appeal to both fans of mainstream work like Coldplay or underground fans of bands such as Idaho or Acetone (in particular their more laid-back tracks). Definitely recommended.
