Bakers at Dawn - You Must Hide Your Love Forever

The Swedes just seem to get it. I have been listening to the Marcus Sjöland's project Bakers at Dawn for the last week and I am floored by how good it is. Simple songs that are both expressive and intelligent.

I have been obsessing over simply recorded music lately and You Must Hide Your Love Forever fits the mold perfectly. I believe it just explodes with sincerity and shows how effective simplicity can be in creating great music.

The "bleeps" and "bloops" play their part in this album but Sjöland realizes he can add them merely as a compliment to the music. They detail each track instead of a completely overrunning it and, by doing so, Bakers at Dawn achieves that perfect layering. This is a great album full of exceptionally written songs.

Myspace Band: Ramon "Tiki" Fulwood

Quite simply, Tiki Fulwood was amazing and I just think you should go and listen to his page. It's Friday and it puts you in a great mood. The man's drumming was incredible and it changed the drumming-game forever... if you ask me.
