Q Magazine Review of 'This Is...'
Here is the review of 'This Is...' in the
November 2001 issue of the British Q Magazine.
Brett Anderson guests on the fifth album from
introspective Swedish singer-songwriter.
The Suede singer appears on two songs here,
adding FX-clipped vocals to the stark
electro-funk of Trainsurfing and a chorus on
Keen Yellow Planet - like Suede gorgeously
dissolving between David Bowie and Strawberry
Fields. Perhaps a new sense of fun has arrived
in Nordenstam's world, one previously
characterised by a haunting, Moomin-child
voice singing of murder, suicide, terrorism
and emotional desolation. The melancholy
Everyone Else In The World is still sombre,
but now there's a wry tone behind the still,
stately arrangements and textural machine
clanks - one that echoes good old Morrissey's
gloriously contradictory brand of anthemic
dejection.
