POST
ÅDROR
EP POST RELEASE: MARCH 14, 2000 REVIEW: APRIL 14, 2000

Gothenburg based pop-rockers Post could easily be confused with many Swedish spare -time bands. An unpretentious approach with a traditional setting and a total absence of audible surprises, simply takes them all straight down the path of anonymity. It's a comfortable but very beaten track that leads nowhere in the long run.
But there are some elements that want to break free from these routines. Songwriter and vocalist Urban Hane (with a voice slightly reminiscent to that of the undisputed champion of Swedish punk-rock, Joakim Thåström) is much too competent for its context and the track "Rummet" have a melodic touch worth developing. But otherwise "Ådror" is nothing but dull. And why call themselves Post? The music isn't post anything… well, perhaps post anonymous.
