NME REVIEW

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - #3 - yesboyicecream
8/10

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Nordic duo Johan Hedberg & Peter Gunnarson are very cool indeed, Seemingly out of nowhere, under the guise of Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, they've made a lush folk pop album that wouldn't appear out of place in Sufjan Stevens' personal CD collection. Electronica-tinged bluegrass cult hit-in-the-making 'Loop Duplicate My Heart' will have the most stubborn foot tapping: catchy, clever and cooly complex. Like a young primary school Beck skipping through The Shins' back catalogue, this record harbours more romantic whimsy than those misty-eyed who choose to have hideous Disney-themed weddings. Bow down before the new Viking invasion.

The Independent: the Information

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - #3 - yesboyicecream
This duo of Swedish scamps are as playful as the name suggests, lacing the fey indie-boy whimsy of their pastiche-pop sound with wickedly witty lyrics delivered as droll asides in the matter of Stephin Merritt. Think Kings of Convenience via the Magnetic Fields, with plenty of perkily pleasing tunes to Boot.
