THE REVIEW

A deep breath and then the question:

Do you hate nursery rhymes, minimalism, good humor, optimism, indie pop lo-fi, Pitchfork, clapping, cheerful chants based on "nananà", cheerful chants based on "papapà", in short, the chants, the xylophone that holds the melody, the "perfectly structured pop songs, as if they were written by early-period Brian Wilson", records that are even irritating in their simplicity and directness, falsetto, little guitars, ukuleles, songs shorter than 5 minutes, clean and rounded sounds, Swedish bands made up of about 30 members, tracks that instantly get into your head?

If the answer is "Yes", stay away from this album. Otherwise, it is definitely what is meant for you.
