Can’t Get Enough: Dag för Dag, BOO
CD Review
It’s special when you hear the first few seconds of a song, and you immediately know that what you’re listening to is your new all-time favorite. We are allowed to have a few all-time favorites, because some things in this world are just that amazing. This happened while listening to Dag för Dag and their debut album, BOO. Can’t get enough. They are an American brother and sister duo, and took their swedish name after spending time making music together in Sweden. What’s up with all this good music from Sweden? It strikes yet again! If you’re into surreal and dreamy vocals, on top romantic and psychedelic guitars, and music that takes you to another world (Sweden?) you will definitely dig Dag för Dag’s BOO.
I recommend starting with track 6, Silence is the Verba.
