Fibes, Oh Fibes! need to get United States coverage

It's become a theme so far for me to dig up things that might have been passed by this year. I was thinking about what t I was playing late spring/early summer and I came across Fibes, Oh Fibes!. I forgot how much fun this band is.  They remind me of a Swedish Hall and Oates in some songs. Maybe it's the blonde guy with a mustache that does it. He's both Hall and Oates rolled into one. They sing music that just makes you happy.

"Apex Of The Sun" was the first song I heard from their LP called Album. I imagine these Sweds have a great sense of humor with an album called Album.  Anyhow, this song is the kind of music that makes me think of sunshine, the beach, and a chocolate sunday. Where's the official video for this damn song?  This deserves one.  I think I played this YouTube video a lot. This is still not available in the US.


"Goodbye To Love" is the Hall and Oates sound I was talking about earlier.  This really has a flashback to the mid 70's Pop-R&B sound.  It's so different from "Apex Of The Sun," it's hard to believe that it's not only on the same album but it's done by the same band.


"Untitled" is one of the other songs I managed to find of them on YouTube from this LP.  This song is damn good but I have an issue with length. Not sure why a pop tune like this needs to be over 5 minutes long.   Just a preference.  Make this album available in the US.
