The Medalist


BBBD has been M.I.A. for -- gasp -- two days ... did you miss your daily dose?

The Medalist is a great Gothenburg quartet that merges the guitar-pop aesthetic that's in vogue right now with this swingy, jazzy, big band vibe, horns and all.

The songs off The Medalist EP are super clean and crisp -- as one would expect from a Swedish pop outfit -- but there's something subtly, subversively different about these guys. A hint of XTC under the surface or Camper van Beethoven or something. Maybe a nod to Rogue Wave. It's hard to place since it's deliberately hidden behind a light and summery Swedish sheen.

Dig the below two tunes and head over to their MySpace page for details on how to order their wares!

Hey dude

I've been digging your blog for ages, I've found more music I like on BiBaBiDi then any other blog.

Any chance of getting a link posted to my blog, Einstein Music Journal?

Keep up the amazing work
