Roses In The Park

Remember Liechtenstein? Well the three charming girls from Göteborg, Sweden are back with a new 7″ single released via Fraction Discs, band member Renee’s own label. The single ‘Passion for Water’ comes backed with two b-sides, ‘Spending Time With You’ and ‘On The Tram’. All three songs offer a diverse journey into the band’s recent past, dishing up pop, punk and all sorts of girl-power junk. ‘Passion For Water’ and ‘Spending Time With You’ are both sugary pop songs straight from the honey pot. They adopt horns and a choir-like tonal melody and split between bouncy bass riffs and jingly guitar lines they are full of colour. There’s a sense of celebration with these songs; ‘Passion For Water’ makes you want to do the ‘Safety Dance’, spinning around in a field of poppies, while ‘Spending Time With You’ has a romantic melody and brings with it dance moves reminiscent of an 80′s school ball. ‘On The Tram’ is a driving post-punk song with a simple Ramones-esque guitar riff and a smattering of horns. The horns across all three songs add a nice touch, but it’s the bass playing that really stands out. It gives each song a hip-swinging bounce and puts together a party atmosphere. This is a 7″ you play at a party when you want to make people dance.

‘Passion For Water’ is available now as a free download and the 7″ will be available for purchase in the coming weeks. Make sure you grab a copy from the Fraction Discs website.
