From Uppsala, Sweden comes Jeniferever. When you say Sweden, it’s either garage rock or post-rock. And with a name like Jeniferever, it’s more likely to be the second, right? Right. On “Spring Tides” you get to hear ten songs that curl, swirl, swell and then swell some more towards the end.
It’s a well-proven recipe but it still works when done the right way as Jeniferever more than aptly proves. It’s not the easiest album to get into, but give it enough of your time (I’ve seen your schedule, you’re really not that busy) and you will be rewarded.
“Spring Tides” is at is most interesting when they don’t follow the tried formula though. Like in “St. Gallen” which doesn’t explode but simply smoulders all the way through. The horns in “Nangijala” and the catchiness of “The Hourglass” are two more songs that make “Spring Tides” a more diverse offering and it only contribute to its replay value. It’s nothing you haven’t heard before, but it is still worth hearing.
Score: 7 out of 10
