Eat Cleastwood?


Cleast Eatwood is the best thing I've heard this year. I'm starting to think that Scandinavia is the future of alt. pop music, because everything I've heard that's worthwhile in the past few months has come from those tall, golden-haired beauties. This swedish group is no exception. They combine vocals and melodies as smooth as lullabies to the backbone of a beat as likely to make you clap your hands as any Lil' Wayne track. Their myspace page features their incredible Imogen Heap-meets-Sufjan Stevens cover of MGMT's "Electric Feel," however, the real gem of this group is their song "Rabbit Hole," which makes you want to smoke a joint and dance at the same time. Almost as good is their infectious Radiohead-esque "Sad Machine," which beckons, "come, come, come make a habit out of me." With music this good, it's impossible not to.
