Donkeyboy - Ambitions

"Ambitions are already starting to fade"

Okay, so these guys have gotta have one of the worst band names in the history of music, as bad or worse than Baconflex (who coincidentally have a new album out). But, it's instantly forgiven once you hear them. Like Delays mixed with Bosson mixed with Fleetwood Mac, they've got a soaring, androgynous sound that mixes together classic rock, synths and pure pop. Ambitions is already shaping up to be a big hit in Norway, and an album is on the way. Much of the credit has got to go to frontman Cato Sundberg, whose vocals are out of this world. It reminds me of the first time I heard a Delays record. The chorus, in particular, gets better and better with each listen. I'm really eager to hear what else these guys have in store for us.

On another note, the new Enemy and Tommy Sparks albums are awesome. More on them later, hopefully.
