Two years after their debut, the Swedish psychedelic pop rock band LA FLEUR FATALE, which can now look back on a 10-year band history, returns. On "Silent Revolution," the quartet combines indie, Britpop with classic rock and psychedelic sounds from the sixties. The vocal performance is very prominent, undoubtedly leading the melody and supported by a very subtle guitar and a harmonious drum. ++++ The accolades from their first release have earned them the nickname "Swedish Oasis." I can't really share that assessment now. Everything fits here, but something is missing for me. Over time, the music feels too straightforward, and I miss the certain hit potential of the songs. To put it harshly, the music almost feels too hippie-like to me. Let anyone who wants to shake their head. Too little happens, everything remains sweet, nice, beautiful, and provides the soundtrack for gentle winter evenings under the blanket by the fireplace. The pop factor, indeed. ++++ When looking at the music objectively, however, the wonderful playful melodies must also be mentioned, the almost melancholic keyboard, the supportive use of strings, the caressing vocal performance, and the noticeable love for their own music. ++++ Swedish Oasis? No. Perhaps the psychedelic Swedish Beatles!
