Free Download: Friday Bridge "Shanghai Shipping"

Swedish music magazine Digfi argues that Friday Bridge's new album is the "best pop album in Sweden in the last twenty years." That's a huge compliment for the Stockholm duo that ranks them beyond Robyn, The Ark, Alcazar and, of course, The Herreys.
The Stockholm-based pop group is the teaming of Ylva Lindberg and Niklas Gustafsson. Founded in 2004, the group released their debut "Intricacy" in 2007, as well as numerous EPs, 7"s and compilation tracks. The group's mission is crystal-clear. Their music is not an outlet for my personal feelings or experiences. "Melodical perfection is something Friday Bridge is most concerned with," songstress Ylva explains in an interview. "It is about writing a really effective, catchy pop song. It's for both myself and others I guess"
I don't think Friday Bridge is the biggest Swedish pop thing in 20 years, but I do agree that Friday Bridge have put together an album of elegant electro-pop that is sleek, stylish and very much deserves your attention. (Still trying to make sense of the song title though.)
