Editorial Reviews

Movits!, the Swedish hip-hop jazz band, has gained international notoriety following an electric performance on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." 'Appelknyckarjazz' is sung entirely in Swedish, is influenced as much by legendary hip-hop artists as it is by Cab Calloway. Their single, "Fel Del Av Garden," has seen its five-star rated YouTube video viewings jump from 100,000 to almost a quarter of a million in a matter of a few days.

I can't understand a single word the lead singer is saying but I don't care. The music is infectious. And I'm still not sure why I like this album so much. I'm a huge Rush/Yes fan and this band doesn't exactly fit in with my CD collection. Like the other reviewer, I found this band via Colbert Report. After seeing them on that show, I'd love to see them live. The music is very energetic and refreshing. It's a rare CD in my collection that does not contain at least one song that I skip. Even the Yes CDs! But, I enjoy this CD all the way through. I especially like the track "Fel del av gården". It's the kind of song that makes you want to bend your head down a little, swing your arm back and forth snapping your fingers. Other tracks I really enjoy include "Swing för hyresgästföreningen", "Tom Jones", "Äppelknyckarjazz", & "Vals på Vinkelgränd". But, like I said before, I don't skip anything on this one. You can listen to a few songs on their MySpace page: [...]. Give them a try. Like me, this might be the first new CD you've purchased in ten years!

It's possible the best music I have heard in a while. I can't stop listening. The beats are original and catchy. Each song induces a different sound. Most of all I enjoy the fact that its not in English, it makes it that more fascinating.

This will keep your toes tapping. Very fun, reminds me of the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
