Description:
This is the second stateside album by this workmanlike Swedish power pop garage act. People who don't use TiVo to skip through the adverts have already heard the best song on the album, "Jerk It Out," from that iPod Shuffle commercial. That tune's been tacked on here even though it's 3 years old, and it's easy to see why it was resuscitated as it blows away its neighbors on this CD. Organ-driven, tight and cool, "Jerk" is the kind of song you just want to dance around a crowded room filled with cute people all dressed up like mods and ready to party. The lyrics are daft, but they're young, and it's just rock

Organ-driven, tight and cool, "Jerk" is the kind of song you just want to dance around a crowded room filled with cute people all dressed up like mods and ready to party. The lyrics are daft, but they're young, and it's just rock music, right? Not all the new tunes pale in comparison to "Jerk it Out," however. "Your Time Is Near" is a really good, suggesting collaboration between the Concretes and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, while "We Got To Leave" judiciously uses handclaps. In the end, however, this band does seem more like another trendy, sort-of retro, kind-of garage rockist group. --Mike McGonigal
Album Description
Features the "Jerk It Out" as heard in the iPod Shuffle commercial. Hailed by Blender magazine for making music "as hot as a kiln," the Caesaers new album is richly layered power pop with a sound that melds the summer of `65 electric beat instrumentation with a 2005 wide-eyed urgency.
