Studio debut album by Danish synth and indietronica band Spleen United (formed 2002, Aarhus) consisting of Bjarke Niemann on vocals and guitar, Gaute Niemann on bass and synthesizer, Kasper Nørlund on synthesizer and backing vocals, Rune Wehner on synthesizer, and Jens Kinch on drums.
I simply bought the album upon its release after listening to the promotional single Spleen United but the rest is nowhere near that making it an interesting album above the mediocre - an all-in-all promising debut. No more, no less.
In hindsight, however, this remains the band's best effort.
