Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 21:32 Review: Treefight for Sunlight show at Botanique
The copy of Treefight for Sunlight's debut album A Collection of Vibrations for Your Skull that I bought ahead of the band's show in Brussels on Tuesday this week has a promotional sticker quoting a review from The Guardian that presents this four-piece from Denmark as "one of the most glorious things we've heard this year", and I couldn't agree more.
TFS's first musical effort has influences that go from classical music to the West Coast melodies epitomized till today by the Beach Boys, and it can take the credit for being a piece of work that, while reverberating with a retro echo, still sounds furiously contemporary. As it is the case of She & Him, my favourite new band making "old" music, the music of TFS has that rare quality of agelessness.
