Brothers Of End – The End


The only reason I ever liked The Cardigans was because they had an incredibly cute singer. And to top it all off, she had an even sexier voice. But the band’s music was basically not so good and way too cheesy pop music. So why would I want to listen to Brothers Of End, a band with two former Cardigans among its ranks none of them being called Nina? Because Brothers Of End’s sound has nothing in common with their former outfit.

The songs on “The End” are the kind of songs you want to play while burning candles, drinking wine and feeling sorry for yourself. With the curtains drawn close. Preferably a storm brewing outside, or at the very least some heavy rain. “Believe” and “Misbehavind” are good examples of what these guys are about… slow songs that gently trickle along with good melodies. The absolute highlight however is “FC Vs Dynasty”, one of the songs the Beatles simply never got round to writing.

They could use a shot or two of energy every now and then. Other than that Brothers Of End managed to write a fine pop album that will eventually make you forget your self-pity. And possibly The Cardigans.
