4th and final full studio album by Turboweekend, who keep to their indietronica style. It's strange how their albums have always opened up gradually from what I found just okay to much better over a period of time. I bought the album upon its release and likewise, this was just so-so the first time, but already more interesting the second and third time, and after three months it has shown its potential. That's just how it is with some music. I think, I have to wait some more months to digest it and eventually rate it fully. By now I find it better and really good, but will it be great? Anyway, it betters most other national releases and as such it's my favourite Danish album of the year, and although, it's only just bettering the 2009 album Ghost of a Chance, I don't quite find that it's up there with the band's so far best album Fault Lines from 2012. My favourite composition is the end-track "Share My Thunder" with a very special template. With a running time at 8:57 it's easily the longest track. It contains both fine chorus parts as well as being a strong experimental progressive pop / rock anthem with hints from post-rock, AND it also consists of two rather different halves, which works brilliantly. I have played it over and over - each time ending with a sensation of surprise as to how short it felt. To me, this is the song of the album, and what a single it could have been!
EDIT 2019:
In January 2017 the band released the live album Close-Up - only as a downloadable album, and apparently, they had been recording tracks for a new album throughout 2017 when they in Feb. 2018 announced that the upcoming tour instead would be their farewell tour, and by the end of 2018 Turboweekend ceased to exist.

Turboweekend "Fault Lines" (2012)

Track highlights: 1. "Fire of the Stampede" (4 / 5) - 2. "Neverending" - 4. "On My Side" (4 / 5) (live stream) - 5. "Boulevard" (4 / 5) - 6. "Good Morning, It's Tomorrow" - 7. "You're the Cure" - 8. "Rubicon" (4 / 5) - 9. "Drying Out in the Sun" - 11. "I Forgot" (4 / 5) (live on DR P3)

3rd studio album by Turboweekend. I had heard a few luke-warm reviews on this before actually buying it but when I finally put it on my stereo, you know... I knew it was bliss! Nothing at all like the critics had it on TV-2 (they're simply dumb and daft), and this band is nothing but my favourite contemporary Danish act. Sorry, I can't provide more evidence with the best tracks, especially "On My Side", "Boulevard", "Rubicon", and "I Forgot" are stand-outs. Until Marie Key released De her dage this was in my top 3 of the year. Turboweekend play indietronica, meaning indie pop in the electronic genre and alt. dance very much like another fine Danish act Veto.
This is the band's so far best studio album.

2nd studio album by Turboweekend. The album is more dance-founded than the promising debut. The songs are stronger and the album is one of this year's best Danish releases.
The album was re-issued in 2010 as a double disc and double vinyl album with primarily live versions and several remixes.
