Track Of The Day: Dollhouse
Today’s free track comes courtesy of these high energy rock’n’soul Swedes. Have mercy! Click here for previous Tracks Of The Day.
Words: Scott Rowley
Brother Michael Davis (Low-end Minister, Holy Parish of the Motor City Five) has pronounced that Dollhouse are “what the MC5 wished we could sound like. Maybe the fact that we didn’t grow up in the 1990s in a small town in Sweden was the problem.”
It is indeed strange that Dollhouse grew up in 90s Sweden and ended up sounding like speed-fuelled revolutionaries at the arse-end of the 60s. But life, like rock’n’roll, is weird like that.
Today’s Track Of The Day – a tightly wound, reeling-and-a-rockin, shrieking-an-a-hollering slice of Detroit-influenced rock’n’soul called Oh My Love (number 25 in Heavy Rotation in this month’s mag) – sounds a bit like Great Balls Of Fire as played by a pilled-up Hamburg-era Beatles. It’s two and a half minutes of lo-fi garage rock that had everyone in the CR office – from cynical punks to purist bluesers – sitting up and asking what it was and where (and when) it came from.
It came from Sweden (via Detroit, London and Memphis), and you can get it below for free, and more of the same from the band’s new album Rock’n’Roll Revival on French label Bad Reputation.
would be better if you could actually get a chance to download the track from a unlimited file server
