3.0 out of 5 stars Fey polite ballads and fragile pop, 23 Feb 2008
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming (Audio CD)
Club 8 are a Swedish band formed in 1995 by Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergard. The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming is their sixth album and harks back to the rather fragile , lightweight pop that used to be the preserve of labels like "Sarah" records.
Now whether this is a good thing depends entirely on how you view music that some would class as fey , precious, dainty ...choose your own intended insult. I don't necessarily think these are bad things for a band to be but one thing is certain ...If you are of that ilk you better make sure the songs are strong because if they aren't nothing will expose them quicker than a lack of padding and instrumental baggage.
The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming happily has some excellent songs on it ."Leave The North" is by far the strongest song . A piano with slight echo heralds in Kromstedt,s pristine vocal tone's .Then the strings add weight and in more ways than one. They sound like they have meandered in from a far more thematically heavy album- say Lou Reeds "Berlin" and so sound incongruous , certainly compared to the delicate but pretty acoustic tendency of a song like album opener "Jesus Walk With Me". "Everything Goes" sounds like Julee Cruise if she embraced minimal electronica and "Heaven" is a breezy attempt to add welcome tempo to proceedings with it's Cure like bass and funky percussion. So do the glossy chords of "When I Come Around" and there are more mournful strings on "Sometimes" and a forlorn cello on "Where Birds Don't Fly" though the song isn't itself isn't that great.
For all that some of the album is inconsequential and forgettable. "Football Kids" , "Hopes And Dreams " despite some more lovely strings and "In The Morning "( Though it seems to grow on me a tiny bit more every time I hear it) left very little impression with this reviewer. The title track is immaculate proof that Club 8 can do this shiny polished courteous pop thing with panache and a signifier that maybe that their next album should contain more of the sparkly pop songs and less of the hushed delicate ballads .
That's just me though. Some will undoubtedly gush over the more restrained material and when they do it well, like on Jesus Walk With Me" where Kromstedt,s really gets to stretch her lovely voice, it's terrific .Anyone who loves bands like The Field Mice( The best at this type of stuff ever ) Heavenly , The Orchids, Trembling Blue Stars and countless others and who haven't heard Club 8 should investigate forthwith. Those who like their music with a bit of clout best look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice - in the nicest sense of the word., 24 May 2009
By J. P. Oley "Jack Oléy" (Salt Town, Budleigh. England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Feb 08 review for this album is a good one. I think that one can play virtually anything by Club 8 and you will like it. That is to say, it might not move you, but it won't offend you. But some of it is very moving! Their stuff works its way inside you and becomes an aspect of the Club 8 entity, that thing into which you buy. I love them, they are like the Acid House Kings, all lovely, mellow, sweet, heartfelt, charming and special.
