After years of absence the duo Moonbabies, Ola Frick and Carina Johansson, have returned in the Autumn with new songs; last week with the doublesingle  “24”/”The Ocean Kill” and earlier, in September, with the songs “Chorus”/”Raindrops”. Basically they are delivering a collection of gorgeous pop melodies in shifting costumes. The latest songs are more electronica-heavy, inspired by the dancefloors in Berlin they tell us, while the other songs sound more organic. I sense a clear stroke of the seventies’ pop vibes in the melodies, enhanced by my impression that Ola Frick sometimes sound like Eric Woolfson or even Jeff Lynne in “The Ocean Kill”-chorus, but there are plenty of other tendencies to pick up if you’re in that mood, from dream pop, indie and electropop for example. It’s great to hear from the duo again, and in Spring we’ll get more music from them when they release the new album.
