Eva & The HeartmakerLet’s Keep This Up Forever
Sony Music Norway [2009]
Fire Drill Review:
When you judge a book by its cover you are always in for a surprise and that same rule applies to Norway's Eva & The Heartmaker. Based on the album cover, I assumed they would be another Kills or Raveonettes but the married couple actually possesses the pop sensibility characteristics of The Cardigans or Sheryl Crow. Interestingly enough, the duo list The Band, The Raconteurs and The Beatles as inspiration and their tracks do reflect 60's like song structures. This arrangement helps Let’s Keep This Up Forever smooth out any notion of being labeled bubblegum pop and keeps the focus on Eva's solid vocals, which converts the groups tracks into very likable and catchy numbers. That is why this record has been let out of Northern Europe and just recently received a US release.
Key Track: "Superhero"
