Icons of Elegance - Dancing is Easy

(Morning Star, January 31 2010)


Album review


The third album from this tuneful Finnish familial duo is not entirely original, so neophiles should steer clear. But for the rest of us - those who can appreciate that a good tune doesn't have to reinvent the riff - there's some lovely music on show here that will enrich the winter for your tired old stereo.


The opening title track is melodious guitar-powered pop with a distinct lack of guile. The delightful Sigh, My Heart says more about these two brothers - that they're not afraid of sharing their feelings to a quite unusual degree.
The retro Norwegian Girl and the touching, erm, Touching make this a well-rounded, delicate record. It's not unusual, but it's wonderful all the same.
