Pet Politics

Pet Politics is the name that Swede, Magnus Larsson, has adopted. Living in Gothenburg, Sweden, the 31 year-old records in his apartment, playing all instruments. The music of Pet Politics is lo-fi, perhaps due to the situation it is recorded in, and 'indie' in style. Magnus' voice is very appealing, a sugared rasp that fits well within the sounds he coaxs out of the instruments. Not sure which song I like more, "In My Head" has a strong, rough hewn melody, pushed along by Magnus' churning guitar and the simple drum pattern. "The Cold Wind Blows" takes a slower route, but once again boasts the kind of backbone any good song needs, a hummable melody.
