Boo

"If you like reverberating guitars allied with spectral vocals of infinite beauty then Dag för Dag might just be your favorite new band. Formed by the American brother and sister duo of Sarah Parthemore Snavely and Jacob Donald Snavely, [they] set up camp in Sweden, (it seemed "as good a place as any") and began writing music together . . . In an attempt to nail down Dag för Dag's style comparisons have been made to artists such as PJ Harvey, The Cure, White Stripes, Howling Bells and even Joy Division. Whether such connections are justified is of course a matter of opinion but their debut long player Boo is certainly an album of sweeping majesty , full of darkness and light, of serenity and rage, shot through with a sense of that restless wanderlust that has in no small, part informed Sarah and Jake's musical vision. At times the music is brutal and stark at other times tender and reflective. The combination of visceral guitars weaved around the interplay between Sarah's otherworldly vocals and Jacobs's sonorous drawl enables Boo to take the listener on a road trip in which despair and hope, love and regret often hitch a ride but never outstay their welcome. There's a definite cinematic vibe running throughout the album, like the soundtrack to your favorite cult road movie. The guitar work is quite wonderful, at times sounding like Echo and the Bunnymen interpreting Twin Peaks, whilst on the more laid back lo-fi numbers they act as sonic thunder bolts and like the presage to a great storm, they slash through the soundscape adding to the foreboding yet haunting beauty that is the essence of Boo. Dag för Dag have produced a debut album to cherish and one that may, in time, be regarded as a mini-classic." - Vonpipmusicalexpress.wordpress.com
