Panda Loves Penguin Vol. 2

Panda Loves Penguin Vol. 2
(Swell Creek Records - 2009)


The Finnish sextet One Morning Left offers a new album called Panda Loves Penguin Vol. 2, but I'm not sure who will listen... Perhaps there is a target group for their post screamo... At Panda Loves Penguin they show that its possible to combine music á la Bullet For My Valentine with some 80's keyboard sounds. And to be honest the keyboard which makes them stick out is also what annoys me, but perhaps it's just a matter of taste. Some parts of Worthless Girls are pretty interesting, but again the keyboard... The slower, more melodic parts are pretty cool and I like the clean vocals, the growls are a bit too extreme - for me. At BD_L3LOVERZ! the keyboard partly reminds me of some fairground ride at a kermis... Disturbing. At Excuse Me, How Can I Get To The Scene From Here? the keyboard is pure 80's pop, but in combination with post screamo I can't stand it. Song titles like SMS Pissing and Sweden Hockey Dreams aren't very promising to me... Perhaps I'm just too old for this stuff.
I hope for the guys that there is an audience for them, but I'm not sure about that... Sorry.
