Intriguingly titled Wonderfault, the debut album by Norwegian up and rising trio, Great News, has just been released, recorded in their own studio in Bergen and featuring all of those singles that made the indie rock world take a better look at the band's enthusiastic mixture of synthpop, dreampop and psychedelia.
Added to that groovy list of singles now drops You're Mine, another synth-heavy, eighties-inspired piece which toys with its tropes with consummate skill while it puts forward the excellent, colorful production with a nod to the band's adeptly used influences.
Great News' quality singles and freshly released LP carry all the charisma responsible for getting them numerous gigs at important venues all over Europe, and also comparisons to some of the genre's current front-runners.
