The European musical duo known as
JamBee have released their new, self-titled EP record, “JamBee,”
to universal critical and fan acclaim. The album is comprised of six
original tracks for an approximate total of 25 minutes' worth of
playing time. It is categorized as rock music, but boasts many of the
most excellent qualities of independent pop and alternative music,
also. A standout success in the late spring quarter of 2013, “JamBee”
represents JamBee's most significant release to date and is certain
to put this popular Swedish group on the map for good, worldwide.
The sound of “JamBee” is difficult
to compare with other artists, as theirs is a unique sound with a
gorgeous flavor all its own. Singing and instrumentation are both
fantastic, with tenor vocals somewhat reminiscent of Freddy Mercury,
and songwriting that recalls less raucous material by The Kinks, such
as“Mr. Pleasant.” JamBee themselves state that their music is a
blend of classic rock influences with elements of Mexican folk music,
indie pop, and acoustic bossa nova.
JamBee writes that members Antonio
Plasencia and David Jakobsson “enjoy experimenting with new
recording techniques and developing their sound.” They name as main
artistic influences the likes of U2,The
Smiths, Pulp, Band of Horses, Placebo, Pearl Jam, The Kinks, Depeche
Mode, Metric, Foo Fighters, James, Interpol, David Bowie, Calexico,
and Los Panchos. Attributes of each of these legendary groups can be
heard in “JamBee,” some of them more than others.
The beginning of JamBee is in Mexico
proper, from which locale Plasencia began writing his material. Upon
arriving in Scandinavia, he immediately advertised a need for band
members at the local record store. This call was summarily answered
by Jakobsson. The twain have served as the heart and soul of JamBee
ever since, weathering a steady stream of other musicians who have
performed with them through the years. They are currently based in
South Sweden's Malmö/Lund region, and often perform at clubs,
festivals, and for local music competitions. They have a legion of
fans in Europe, as well as in the Americas.
