Hailing from Sweden, Envelopes are incredibly entertaining popsters with a flair for late 70s, early 80's underground motifs and cutesy European songwriting! They have updated this era with an infusion of originality and sense of whimsy. Don't confuse early 80's with New Wave, think more along the lines of early Squeeze or Talking Heads (I mention these merely as a point of reference and not as a comparison). Male & Female vocal interplay adds to the pleasurable experience of Here Comes the Wind. They are pushing the excellent tracks "Party" & "Freejazz", but my personal favorite is the charming song "Boat." Be sure to check Envelopes out. It's a really wonderful way to spend 45 minutes of your life.
