3 New Spring 3:27

NOTICE: The title of the album is "Never Seen A Star" without EP at the end
as the spine might mislead one to assume. Discogs is the only source that
lists it as such, thus most likely the interpretation of the contributor that
added the entry. All other sources (Musicbrainz, Allmusic etc) list it without
the EP suffix. And most informative is the the listing on the bands official
website itself. http://www.easy-magicseeds.se/

Two years after their promising Magic Seed LP via Blast First, Sweden's Easy
put it all together on this delightful, hard-pop-flourish single. The
production is crisper (well done, Micke Herrstrom), the guitars more forceful
(better use of reverb), and more proficiently pretty at the same time, the
bass and drums more pushing. Most of all, the chorus here comes out of a
snappy verse well, doubling the guitars' charge, tacking on angelic backing
vocals, and driving the point home. Songs like this were made for the radio,
too bad such scant radio here knows about them, remembers them, or buys
import singles. The two B-sides "Reach Out, Yvonne," and "New Spring" also
greatly benefit from the band's improvement, and the much better sound,
reminding slightly of the mid-'80s work of the Sound (especially that modern
church organ sound Max Mayers used to use). If this is what they have for us,
hooray for Scandinavia.
