much like locksley, indie act mando diao sound straight out of the ’60s with just a slight garage rock undercurrent. the band first broke through outside their native sweden with their last release, hurricane bar, and the moderate hit “god knows.”
their infectious new single, “long before rock ‘n’ roll,” is all jangly guitars, retro harmonies and an undeniable beatle-esque beat. factor in their boyish good looks and you’ve got a modern fab four. only there’s five of them. d’oh.
you can stream their solid new album ode to ochrasy, including the single, over at myspace. the full-length disc drops april 24 in the u.s.
