Henning Furst and Eric Berglund were childhood friends long before they formed the insanely popular synth act, The Tough Alliance. It's perhaps this knowledge of each other's tastes and musical preferences over time that led them to incorporate so many different styles into their music, including electronic, dub, reggae, soul, pop, and Caribbean.
In the mid-Aughts, there was no band that produced more catchy tunes with broad appeal. The vocals are a bit similar to contemporary surf-rockers, The Drums, but the music is far from lo-fi and represents some complex, crafty compositional planning. Many of these are perfect for the summer. Enjoy!
