Hailing from the Swedish school of superior pop that’s produced such fine alumni as The Concretes, I’m From Barcelona and Loney, Dear, Those Dancing Days are another worthy addition to the country’s burgeoning music scene. Their addictive bubblegum pop doesn’t exactly ooze originality, but their enviable knack for sweet synth melodies and lead lady Linnea’s glacial but soulful vocals makes them a guiltily satisfying pleasure. They stand up well as a live act too; despite looking about 12 they’re a confident, talented bunch. Current single Hitten leads to a communal singalong, and by the time they reached their final tune (their ubiquitous title track), the tiny Water Rats venue had descended into full-scale dance party chaos. A very promising start; may their dancing days long continue!
