New music: Sounds of Nonno ? The Crush

Never mind that their label describes them as 'happy but dull electronica', these beats and bleeps have a robo-pop edge

We don't know anything about Sounds of Nonno other than they're Swedish and signed to J�mmerdosa. The Crush is their new EP and features the vocal talents of Jenny Wahlstr�m, Terese Fredenwall and Fredric Johansson. The short bio on their website doesn't really shed further light and may have lost something in translation, with phrases such as "happy but dull electronica" and "slightly dance inspired". Thankfully, we're only interested in the music and The Crush EP offers four tracks that suggest great things to come from this band. The title track, in particular, is a stunning mix of intricately programmed beats and bleeps that jerk and jolt in all the right places, the childlike vocals lending it a sweet pop edge, while the pulsating Friend darkens the mood slightly with a heavily treated robot-voiced duet.
