I'm making out tonight with my computer

suburban kids with biblical names

What is it with Scandinavians and great pop music? I don't know what's in the water over there, but I want some to pour in my morning coffee.

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - Loop Duplicate My Heart.

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names (Johan Hedberg and Peter Gunnarsson, if you're reading the right Bible) is a pair of guys who like to screw around with loops and sweet, sweet melodies. In fact, their official bio from Labrador Records says, "They make and record their music in the hallway or the storehouse at the home of Peter's kind parents. Johan makes simple drafts of the songs and then Peter polish[es] them and turn[s] them into shiny pop songs." Good friend to have, right?

This one is from their record #3, which also has the catchy songs "Funeral Face," "Noodles," and "Rent A Wreck." It's pure pop goodness, wrapped up in pretty paper and topped off with a colorful ribbon. Also, it may be the biggest nerd anthem since "She Blinded Me With Science." And that's a compliment.

You can pick up #3 from Amazon.
