Studio ep debut by Danish indie rock band Rum 37 consisting of vocalist Kristian Helmuth (son of actor Frits Helmuth), guitarist Camillo (Gino) Askjær, bassist Søren Adolph, and drummer Mikkel Lumbye. The ep counts 5 tracks with a total running time of just under 23 minutes.
Stylistically, it's indie rock echoing the early days of Danish band Love Shop and especially Swedish band Kent with some influence from Suede. Lyrics are held in Danish but without a strong original output it becomes so-so in terms of contributing with more than addressing familiar musical sources. The positive side to it, is that we get to meet a Danish band who dares playing indie rock.
