This may be considered considered “old news” as far as blog standards go, but this EP — aptly titled #4 from Suburban Kids with Biblical Names — completely passed under my radar when it was released back in February on Labrador. It just so happens that I came across it after visiting the label’s site in hopes of finding some shred of news regarding The Radio Dept. I guess I should visit more often, as I found lots of great stuff that you will hopefully be seeing here in the coming days.

Still waiting for the proper follow-up to 2005’s #3, this four track EP from Johan Hedberg and Peter Gunnarson serves its purpose well as a pleasant stop gap towards the new record’s eventual release. The free downloadable track “1999″ is an example of a crazy pop song done properly. It’s upbeat and playful all the way through, even towards the end with what sounds like the garbled sounds of a dog who may or may not be drowning. Who the hell knows!
