Well it looks like someone took notice of the words written below, and punched in Cherrypeel
in their browser - in this very moment one of our songs, The Gun In God's Hand, holds the no. 1 spot! Many thanks!
And you are of course welcome to repeat this from our side much appreciated action (as it is sure to keep our spirits up):

The Spanish speaking blog A Pleasant Dream has just summarized the best songs of 2008, and our very own The Salt ended up on spot no. 29 (out of an extensive list containing 115 songs). All these songs are featured on a compilation that can be downloaded.
This warms our musical hearts - not at least because we just held a band vote in which we definitely decided to include this saltish tune on our forthcoming album. Yes, The Salt is shining.
Which reminds us that during the heat of last year's summer, The Salt climbed all the way up to the no. 1 spot on Cherrypeel . Why not head over there and bring it back up?

A short update: During the not too far off Christmas-tide the Swedish blog Meadow Music wrote a piece about us.

A very well written review has recently been published on
LOSINGTODAY .
And more than that - the judgement they cast upon Tiny Dots EP is, indeed, in our favour.
Some excerpts: Lead track Parliament Square is an immediate curio and to the unitiated marks this band out as an improbable mix of Evanescence, Dead Can Dance and Enya. Yes, Enya. And being improbable by nature, it works.
/.../As an introduction to the bands weird and wonderful way with an arrangement there could be none better.
Entertainingly quirky, Tiny Dots is worthy of rediscovery by anyone who needs a break with convention.

Time for some updates.
Three new reviews posted in the blog section above (one Italian, one Swedish and one Danish). Read some excerpts below.
"Pop and refined melodies, a polished sound and the most contagious song of the week. /.../ A Thom Yorke on grass, Kent that abandons the deformations, Keane that decides to grow up." ( indieforbunnies.com )"Stina Nordenstam-namnen "Parliament Square" är en så
stark start att jag faktiskt funderar på om jag hittat ett nytt band att lyssna sönder och samman. Här hittar jag allt jag behöver i smäktande skönsång, väl formulerade krusiduller och ett klinkande piano." ( muzic.se )""The Gun in God's Hand" er en legesyg popsang med en fantastisk melodi, og så klart ep'ens højdepunkt. /.../ Mage til herligt skabsskotsk popsang skal man lede længe efter." ( undertoner.dk )

Rolling Stone reviews THE GUN IN GOD'S HAND:
"A confrontation with the eternal antagonist. Such are the terms of life: The cards are handed out in an unfair fashion. 'They sentenced me to death/ But didn’t tell me how to sleep/ Well at night', Anders Larsson sings like a sharp-sighted Thom Yorke in the peculiar folk-pop tune. First-rate band that keeps on spinning their filmy atmosphere on the EP 'The Waltzes'".

Gabor Kovacs, presenter of the excellent Electrical Language podcast, recently aired his 100th edition of the show. And in show no 101, which marks the beginning of a new EL era, I'm happy to announce the appearance of two SMC-songs. In between them I (Anders) also talk a bit about the band.

Swedesplease has written some really warming words about our song THE GUN IN GOD'S HAND. Who knows, hopefully the prophecy will come true...
"Sometimes the stars align and a band that is little known, even within Sweden, comes up with a breakout song that should get them international recognition. I think “The Gun In God’s Hand†from their new ep Tiny Dots could be just that song for Slow Motion Club. The song is morbid and beautiful. And despite being a song ostensibly about death it’s surprisingly poppy."
