More from Those Dancing Days

Last month, I introduced you to fizzy Swedish popsters Those Dancing Days and their single Reaching Forward.

Well, it transpires that discerning music types in the UK have decided that single is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH (or maybe the single is too good, and it is you and I who are not worthy).

Either way, it is being replaced with another song called I'll Be Yours. Cue the jangly guitars and the life-affirming harmonies, we have a pop hit on our hands.

PS: Here is a short, but perfectly formed, band biography by the equally short-and-perfectly-formed Maddy Costa.

Who or what are Those Dancing Days?

As I am too lazy to write my own review of Swedish girl band Those Dancing Days, I decided to set a task for the hive mind of the internet.

I went to Google and typed in two search phrases - "Those Dancing Days" and "Those Dancing Days +Review". Here are the 50 most commonly recurring words from the first page of results.

So what have we learned?

:: Those Dancing Days are a "Swedish" band from "Sweden" who made an "album" of "music".

:: The internet has correctly identified the presence of band members Mimmi, Rebecka, Cissi and Linnea, but not the keyboard player, Lisa. Poor Lisa :(

:: Those Dancing Days have "played" the "guitar", and their music is "good".

I think we can all agree that this has been a triumph for journalism.

Anyway, while we ponder the death of the English language as a descriptive tool, let's take a look at Those Dancing Days' new single, Reaching Forward. It is actually quite brilliant in a new-wave punky pop sort of way.
