Park Hotell - Size Of Spain

Just right now Peter, Bjorn and John are about as popular a Swedish proposition in Ireland as ABBA. Their gigs have become more and more frequent and each visit sees the crowd swelling. We’ve a lot to thank them for, not least for their ace album ‘Writer’s Block’ from last year. Now Bjorn Yttling has gone and produced a double EP from a new band called Park Hotell. The EP is called ‘The Guest Who Stayed Forever’ and just right now it’s stopping me from leaving the house. Park Hotell have seen fit to add a nice dollop of variety to the EP as evidenced by the 2 tracks below. ‘Low On Resistance’ is the main single and turns out to be a spangly retro heeled ditty after initially giving Beth Ditto a reminder of her achievements to date. ‘Size of Spain’ mines a more traditional indie template which will always find a receptive ear on these pages. All told these are some young folks with potentially a lot hearts to melt. KD
