THE SCENES "Beige"

The Scenes

This coolness must first be digested: Their second album heralds The Scenes with a lachrymose indie-rock elegance that, as in the opening track "Hunters", suddenly beams you into the blessed David Bowie times of the early 80s. This is largely due to the dominant singing of Konsta Koivisto. Is some exalted passages still pure expressions of feeling or already ironic refraction?
