LACROSSE

Stockholm sextet LACROSSE categorize their music as "pop," "indie," and... um... "tropical." Of course, that last one may be nothing more than wishful thinking, what with the Scandinavian winter about to set in and all.

But "pop" and "indie"? You bet your ass. And let's go ahead and add: "Swedish." Oh yes... very, very "Swedish." To take "No More Lovesongs" as one example: a "We Got the Beat"-beat leads us to jangly guitars, sunny, multi-tracked boy/girl vocals, and what sounds like an honest-to-god theremin outro. Slightly kooky? Sure. Utterly charming? You bet your ass.

Lacrosse's album, THIS NEW YEAR WILL BE FOR YOU AND ME, is out this month.
