"...If this record were to be compared to a holiday, it would certainly be a relaxing one, but still in a very cold country, keeping indoors as much as possible. The band's music reminds me of fellow Swedes the Concretes, Hello Saferide and Heikki - generally subdued and melancholic, with just a touch of northern soul influence in places. Occasionally, they'll have a somewhat louder and catchy song like "I Had A Plan" or "The Pigeon And The Dove", but their gentler songs, like "Keep What You Got" and "Fall Out", are just as strong. Both the male and female singer take turns, and frequently lend backing vocals for the other, when not singing lead. You'll also find a fair amount of keyboards and piano providing a nice base for the songs, and even taking the lead in places, like the album's closer, "Hope To See You Soon". A soft and gentle pop treat! " - Chris, www.indiepages.com
These songs were written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Birds on Holiday during 2006-2007. All music on the album was performed by Jesper, Josefin and Peter except 'Keep What You Got' that has a cello track by Klara Goedecke and 'The Pigeon and the Dove' with a rhytm guitar by our old friend Johan Källs.
