It’s been 4 years since Emerald Park's debut album Sadness Within, but with that amount of time spent on the new record you know it may be something worth while. A nice flow of catchy tune sparkles on this album of pop rock tunes. The indie sound is what is mostly intriguing about this group. The Commonfield and Pasadena combine sound from bands like Arcade Fire, The Cure (older stuff) mixed with sound from bands like Death Cab for Cutie and sometimes that new wave feel of New Order. The first single released from the album A Higher Loss, already is catching an audience. The album was produced by Moonbabies multi instrumentalist Ola Frick, for an easy listening experience. The female vocals in The Commonfield add the ambience and creativity to the mix of the songs giving it more of an indie feel. The bands mixture of the two vocals intertwined create a delicate landscape for the indie scene. Lights of Sunday has the be the most standout track on the album as it glees with acoustic rock passion and solid production for the mainstream. This is a track you can hear in a movie scene or credits. The ambient constant drums hits in the background make the chills run down your spine on this track. The depths combined with the atmospheric airiness will be quite a treat to first time listeners. It's the old new wave sound intigrated with the new modern indie rock music on the album that really is a fresh approach. The female voclas placed perfectly within the male vocals that are a plus on the almost slow dance-like beats based on influences from the classic bands. This new album full of 12 new songs should open up a whole new audience to this band immensely. Give this album a shot as its easy listening will capture you with the first of many listens. Tom Spinelli, melodic.net

För att fräscha upp minnet lite grand gick jag tillbaka och läste min egen recension (vad hade Narscissus sagt om det?) av Emerald Parks Ep ”Open” som de släppte i slutet av 2006. Vad hände? Jag rös. Inte av mina egna ord, utan av känslan som fanns bakom när jag skrev den. För känslan kom tillbaka. Det måste ju vara positivt om något. Men vad hände med bandet egentligen? Intet knyst har nått mina öron sedan dess, förrän nu.
Och nu ska det tydligen släppas fullängdsskiva på tyskt bolag, hipp hurra för det! A Higher Loss heter första singeln ut och tja, jag vet inte riktigt. Vad jag hör är ett Emerald Park som har gått vidare, som har utvecklats, men åt vilket håll är då frågan? Sedan är det alltid det här dilemmat med singlar och dess b-sidor, jag vet inte om det bara är jag själv som är vrång, men jag har en tendens till att tycka att b-sidan ofta överglänser singeln själv. Så är faktiskt även fallet här, även om Ambivalence kanske inte är en singel-singel så känns den mer avslappnad och lekfullt självklar (tänk ett mindre elektroniskt Frou Frou) än den något mer uppstyrda A Higher Loss.
Nu ska tilläggas att jag inte på något sätt tycker att detta levnadstecken, det första på länge, från Emerald Park är dåligt; kanske hade jag bara förväntat mig något mer gnistrande. Men innan jag ger hela min dom förbehåller jag mig att få lyssna till hela skivan först, A Higher Loss kan mycket väl vara en låt som förändras beroende på sitt sammanhang. Som singel, aningen disträ. Som del av en skiva; förhoppningsvis magisk.
Betyg: 3/5

‘A Higher Loss’ serves as the harbinger for the upcoming second album of another promising band from Sweden: EMERALD PARK, founded in 2001 in Malmö, have released their debut album ‘Sadness Within’ in 2004, followed by the single ‘My Star’ and played quite some live shows as openers for bands such as Maria Mc Kee, Luna, Clem Snide etc.
If you listen to the title track for the first time, then you’ll instantly hear a difference. Other than many other well-known representatives from that country, they use not electronic elements in ‘A Higher Loss’. Influences of Post Punk, Indie Rock and a few other styles are merged to a melodically-rocking and fresh mixture, carried by charismatic male and female vocals, giving the whole thing an additional distinction. The second track ‘Ambivalence’ is another story you’ll find electronics in abundance there. Melodic riffs, fragmented vocal samples and a slow electronic beat make this a more experimental piece of music.
You should keep an eye on this band and look out for the upcoming album due for a release in autumn as something big is coming from over there again.
