Her Diary & Herself

VINYL FORMAT. Sweden's jangle-pop heroes Starlet gets all musing and mellow on "Her Diary & Herself", sounds like Belle & Sebastian, and who are we to argue? The A-side's taken from the upcoming album (due soonish), gets even dreamier (if possible) on their Nick Drake-ish boohoo ballad "Long Lost Love", get your hankies out! They still hint at teenage years spent listening to Aztec Camera and The Housemartins, The Razorcuts and Choo Choo Train, but they've definitely tempered the cheekiness of their debut with some artfully moody nuances and a host of bare-naked intimacies. Starlet features current/former members of Acid House Kings and Pop Race, respected Swedish pop bands with fans here and abroad!
