Album: A Glimpse of Happiness
Label: Series II Records
Genre: Indie pop
Comments: Peace in Our Time is the one man band of Johan Regner of Sweden. The sweet acoustic pop on A Glimpse of Happiness is sparse and atmospheric, but perfectly accompanies Johan’s soft voice and quiet Swedish accent. The drum machine keeps perfect time and suggests a sort of lo-fi electro-pop sensibility hiding behind a delicate acoustic façade. The dreamy melody coupled with the sharp drum beats are reminiscent of the Radio Department, stripped down without the fuzz, or more vaguely like a prettier Postal Service. The lyrics are clever and fey, as we have come to expect from Swedish pop bands: “I don’t want your body / I just want to have the time of my life / with some nice and decent thoughts on my mind” in the upbeat and melancholic “Some Nice and Decent Thoughts,” a stand-out track. These 15 short tracks, all but one under 3 minutes, sound like cloudy days and long walks.
