Various artists, Labrador 100: A Complete History of Popular Music
(Labrador)
review by Michael Hann (Friday December 21, 2007) The Guardian
A box set of 100 songs, entirely by Swedish indiepop bands whose emotional range stretches all the way from wistful to melancholy, sounds like it might be hard work. Credit the impeccable taste of the five men behind Stockholm's Labrador records, then, that this summary of the label's history from 1998 to 2007 is such a pleasure. The bands can be placed into two broad camps: those who sound like Pet Shop Boys/New Order/Saint Etienne, and those who clearly adore Belle and Sebastian/the Smiths/Sarah Records. But there's a purity to it, a conviction and a refusal to kowtow to fashion, that's immensely appealing. More to the point, there's scarcely a dip in the quality of the tunes, which is little short of incredible over four CDs. It's not for consumption in one sitting - the sugar rush will give way to mild nausea - but it's delicious to dip into
