"The vocals recall Curt Smith of Tears for Fears in full "Shout" mode, yet the song sounds more like an pop arena anthem that's part Music for the Masses, part Welcome to the Pleasure Dome. But either despite the grim material or because of it ("What is wrong with my life/ That I must get drunk every night?"), Jeppe manages to revisit the mid 80s while keeping the songs anchored in the dire present."
"The 1985 track sounds like 1985. Or the Faint. It also sounds good. And lines like "What is wrong in my life / I must get drunk every night" remain relevant for this upcoming weekend."
"He's in an LA studio RIGHT NOW - Stone Temple Pilots are in the studio next door, which Jeppe describes as "very essential LA" - and is ready to tell you, the Popjustice viewer, what he is up to."
""I tried more or less everything with Jr/Sr I ever dreamed of," Jeppe told me in the back of a gay dive bar, "we played the main stage at Reading, Glastonbury, TOTP, Jools Holland and so on. So, I'm easily pleased to play in the back of a club really loud and intense!""
Hey Jeppe, I was just smoking some trees, and thinkin, "shit, I'll Get You is so awesome," and I was listening to Johnny Come Home, and thinking, "Shit, this is awesome," and then Stranded On An Island Alone came on my shuffle, and well, shit, everything you do is awesome!!!
I was so disappointed when you came to Austin and played the Perez show :( I would've loved to have gone, but naturally, since I'm not friends with Perez or anything, I couldn't go. You should come back to Austin and play a show anyone can get into. I would loooooove it.
