tada tátà

tada tátà ~ tada tátà ep (cosy den recordings, 2009)

northern sweden is the place where tada tátà and the friend (a lot of friends) create sweet, delicate, melodic and cristaline indiepop. ukeleles, toy instruments and cello are the main instruments.
intimate songs with fantastic harmonies and bridges in songs like 'sticky dumb gum', 'after school activities' and 'ebony'.

here's tada tátà explaining tada tátà:
"when you had too many cakes and you feel like you have to barf but..the moment just before that when everything's still tasty, delicious and really really sweet."



01. someone (intro)
02. hit the wall
03. the brigade
04. sticky dumb gum
05. after school activities
06. ebony
07. anyone (outro)

but it gets better...
some time ago (on june, 25 to be more specific) they played on the 8th edition of a project called oliver peel session, in paris. well, here's the description of the scene...
"some very good home made pizzas , cupcakes ( home made by Mathilde ) and macarons plus lots of rosé..." taken from rockerparis.
all happened inside a cosy and intimate apartment in paris:

the brigade


sticky dumb gum

yours to share

moofish catfish ~ your to share (cosy den recordings, 2009)

the second release of these sweetly quirky girls is called 'yours to share' because it is yours to share, literally. just like their previous mini album album, all the songs are available to download on their last.fm.
this time they come heavier.
the melodies are richer with great moments with keyboards and backing vocals.
the lyrics continue extremely good: the unpretentious way to create beautiful encounters of melody and lyrics leads you to shivering moments like 'two of a kind' (probably the best track in the album) with the subtle (but lovely) appearance, 'fake and pretend' and 'are you a boy?' with its playful melody and lyrics questioning genres.
a great second album that fulfills all the (high) expectations left by the previous release.
go on and get addicted...



01. ten days in my room
02. yours to share
03. two of a kind
04. oh god! i love you! what's your name?
05. i've got your daniel johnston t-shirt
06. happy on wheels
07. fake and pretend
08. are you a happy?
09. about this girl

on a sunbeam to your heart

moofish catfish ~ on a sunbeam to your heart (cosy den recordings, 2008)

moofish catfish is this four piece girl band from stockholm. their sound is as original as the subjects of their lyrics...
i decided to talk about them because yesterday i heard their new album and it is so good that i felt like revisiting (and sharing) what they have released so far starting with the first album (more like an ep).
'on a sunbeam to your heart' is a bit different from 'your to share', their - just released - second album. the songs are slow-paced and easy listening with pretty guitars and vocals. the melodies are extremely inventive and upbeat and the lyrics funny, catchy and even anarchic, ranging from everyday situations to interpretations of sexuality.
moofish catfish is twee/bedroom pop without the self pity and visiting the envelopes, my darling you!, rough bunnies and soda fountain rag, all at the same time.
from their myspace:
"moofish catfish is heartache and a black cloud, your best friend and a desperate desire. moofish catfish is just a band. don't be stupid. be amazed."
