Intro to [Deportees] : Islands & Shores

A well known (in Sweden) Swedish band that has won the P3 Gold Award (A national radio award) in 2010 for Best Pop artiste. I only got to know them through Gimme Indie when I just tried out random live concert for fun. And I simply sit through the entire performance that lasts for an hour plus. Their music is of pop genre but contains a trace of indie style that makes it pleasing to my auditory cortex.

Band members include brothers Peder Stenberg (vocals) and Anders Stenberg (guitar), in addition to Thomas Hedlund (drummer) and Mattias Lidström (keyboard). [Credit goes to Wikipedia]

Islands & Shores is their fourth and latest album and my personal favorite. The tune and rhythm are less stronger compared to their very first album in 2004, but leave much more impression on the listener. There are more indie elements replacing the pop’s as their music progress through the years and I’d say I prefer their current style. I especially like two songs, namely “a doctor in me” and “a heart like yours (in a time like this)” in Islands & Shores. Do enjoy.
