The Mary Onettes
Highlighted by ringing guitars and reverbed vocals, the Mary Onettes formed in J÷nk÷ping, Sweden, in 2000.

The Mary Onettes' critically acclaimed debut was described as "the perfect mix between A-ha and The Jesus and Mary Chain." Now, they are back with a grandiose new album. Imagine a Swedish equivalent to The National on a diet of speed, Planet Earth DVDs and 80s guitar pop singles and you'll have a vague idea of how amazing this is. This will be huge!

IMPORT. Long awaited debut album from Sweden's best new band, sounds like a modern A-ha dressed in black mixed w/ early Jesus & Mary Chain on an arena. Contains epic artwork & the classic ten songs format where each has it's obvious place on the album. First-rate all the way dressed in production perfectly balancing between futuristic and timeless.
