I'm from Barcelona
Well, it's only fitting that on the very same day I'm flying back to my hometown for a quick visit to attend a friend's wedding, I find out about this new band. I'm from Barcelona are not, in fact, Catalonian, but Swedish --although you'd probably never guess from their sunny pop sound, their contagiously fun hippy attitude and, well, yes, their band name. The luminous melodies, hippy clapping beats and lush orchestration of their debut EP Sing! are at times reminiscent of The Hidden Cameras or The Polyphonic Spree. Check out highlight 'We're from Barcelona.' Let's see if I get my friends to Sing! this with me this weekend...
