Another slice of ace, 80s inspired, Scandinavian pop music, this time from Finland’s Rubik. Current single Laws Of Gravity starts calmly enough: Artturi Taira’s falsetto twists and turns over a tumbling drum track, before synth strings signal the arrival of a monster chorus – ‘soundtrack to the final scene of an 80s teen movie’ type monster chorus. Basically, if this had been released in 1984 Simple Minds wouldn’t have had a career. Debut UK album ‘Solar’ is released May 2nd, via Fullsteam Records.
