Swedes Do It Better

I just discovered this new band Liechtenstein from Göteborg, Sweden. The girls are signed to Slumberland Records, the label responsible for many of the most important girl-fronted indie pop bands of the 90's such as Black Tambourine, Stereolab and Aislers Set.

These ladies cite their major influences as post-punk girl bands (guess who?) Girls At Our Best!, Dolly Mixture, Talulah Gosh, Mo-Dettes, The Slits and the Shop Assistants. You can definitely hear the inspiration. I like these girls for keeping the tradition alive.

Also, check out the awesome stop-motion animation in this video:
