Comment:
Sleeping Policemen is a 4-member ensemble from Hamburg, Germany who
represent the main line of a record, Eardrums Pop of which choice is
based on cute indie/twee pop. I would prefer the term “meadow pop”
as if music being produced somewhere in the countryside if people
(especially human persons
coming out from a city, “civilization”) after
running around in the middle of a
herd of cattle, and across
the meadow and picking
flowers and then arrive at a
barn in the evening to produce an upbeat music. A
contemporary approach to be the hippy. Even if the combo sing about visiting friends in Italy and French philosophy. Such
sort of music has been popularised in the Scandinavian peninsula
(mostly in Sweden during the 90s, and 00s). So
if you are keen to hear such sunshiny, cloudless and careless music
then do not hesitate to come close to the discography of the imprint.
Yet it does not mean the release is somehow aesthetically second
class even if they do not produce hell out of this 4-track outing.
Bucolic guitar twangs and female and male mixed singing are wrapped
up by cute synthesised
strings and reverberant
chords. The
tempo is up and upbeat. Business
as usual with regard to the outings on Eardrums Pop, one of the
tracks is a cover version of the combo`s comradeship group Big Ideas`
composition
Jack Of All
Trades. Get
it for sure.
