When it comes to forming an indie sensibility many bands attempt to channel the talents of their idols, deconstructing popular sounds and influences and reconstructing them in ways that are all too often thin or predictable. This faux-formation of authenticity is becoming increasingly transparent as music listeners get fatigued by repetition and more wary of checklist bands.

Holding obvious influences such as Pixies, Pavement, The Velvet Underground and The Magnetic Fields and with contemporary comparisons

to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Modest Mouse and Belle & Sebastian, it would be too easy to just lump Envelopes in this category.

However, laid down in a rented house in rural Yorkshire, DEMON (Swedish for demo) conjures up all the enthusiasm of a first and somewhat experimental recording without compromising on the professionalism necessary to be taken seriously. Alongside The Shout Out Louds and The Figurines, Envelopes will definitely be one of the most interesting Nordic bands of 2006 and hopefully beyond.
