Liechtenstein: "Stalking Skills"


Liechtenstein is such a fun word to say

Göteborg, Sweden's Liechtenstein carry on the tradition of bands like The Shop Assistants and Talulah Gosh, with their reckless, yet, dreamy style of indiepop. After being featured on last year's C06 cassette released by South American indiepop blog Mira El Péndulo, they're finally releasing their debut 7". Sometime in the next month or so, Fraction Discs will release said 7", featuring "Stalking Skills" and two other new songs! Check out "Stalking Skills" and keep a close watch here for release details.

[MP3]: Liechtenstein :: Stalking Skills (Highly Recommended)
There's something about a simple tom-snare drum beat that just gets me, and it's particularly appropriate here, allowing us to focus on the rest of the song. I'm not exactly sure who's on vocal duties here, but the girls' harmonizing oohs and coos are undeniably cute and it gives a nice contrast to shambling nature of the percussion. It's kinda weird trying to discern why a song like this is good, because it's just good and all I really want to say is "I really like this, I think you'll like it too," yknow?
