Wonderwheel, not Wonderwall. But this Norwegian duo does have something in common with Oasis and that is the fact that they like solid pop songs. The kind that The Beatles used to play. But since The Beatles are already all over the place with their remastered albums, I’ll say these guys are indebted to Simon & Garfunkel instead. Or how about The Rembrandts. Or The Posies at their most mellow.
“Safe And Sorry” is full of very cute and quiet songs that are built on acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies. It’s nothing that hasn’t already been done in the past but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t sound good. Their voices go together very well and with cuts like “If She Don’t Mind” and “What A Joy” they show they’ve got some real chops.
Score: 7 out of 10
