Tonight / 206 Tomten: Dreamy Dream-Pop
Posted by Emily Nokes on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 10:55 AM
(Barboza) Oh, Tomten, you dreamy dreamboats, you. While something like this might not usually be my bag—my bag being a somewhat shabby one filled with Lisa Frank stickers and glitter, while their bag seems more likely to be made of antique velvet and filled with perfectly smooth opals—I admit to being a little swept away. The Seattle quartet makes intricate pop that's nostalgic for decades past and wears a little Union Jack pin on its paisley jacket—the complex arrangements, sugary jangles, and mellow vocals will keep your ears company on these grayest of winter days.
