Korallreven - An Album By Korallreven

Released: 14/11/2011 Acephale
The debut from Swedish duo Daniel Tjäder and Marcus Joons mixes keys, drum loops and oozin ahhs vocals for the perfect hipster revelry soundtrack. A sparkling slice of summery pop from a part of the world also known for giving us god-bothering black metallers.

MusicOMH“Every beat, note and vocal loop is delivered to perfection...” A rather wonderful slice of dreampop then, slightly flawed in places maybe, but this is an album that opens the door to the realm of the senses. It's worth stepping through and wandering around...

Spin“This is dream pop of the highest order...” The ten songs here are a euphoric whirl of church choirs, lushly layered cymbals, poppy clap tracks, and heady psych rock...

Pitchfork“Suggests a sort of trip-- spiritual or chemical or otherwise...” It's an album of quiet excellence, one that aims to soundtrack your most idle thoughts while romantically demanding your attention...

allmusic“Flows like a lazy summer day...” Taken as pieces or as a whole, the album is easily the equal of anything their contemporaries have released and an exhilaratingly chilled-out listen from start to finish that will warm up even the longest winter night...
