Hearing this song play as we entered the Gap shop in Manhattan really sent a tingle down my spine. This is uber cool and hearing it in the coolest city in the world made it feel even more special. Of course the Legends are Swedish and are signed to the most impressive label in the world. The band specialise in frenetic pop wonders and legend has it that they supported their label mates the Radio Dept. a week after they had formed with barely any songs to showcase. That was 2003 and since then they have conjured lots of frothy delights. ‘He Know The Sun’ recalls C86 and Sarah (with a tiny dollop of a-ha) yet it doesn’t belong in the past. The guitars are tuned to play in a bar in a far away galaxy as the frog heads friendly mingle with the tired earthlings. As comforting to your ears as a lovers trailing finger. KD
