Another gem I know absolutely nothing about. "Wait For A Decade" kicks off the excellent Sound Of Young Sweden Vol 2 , with "Margaret" coming towards the end of the compilation. And that, as far as I know, is the sum total of Melodika's recorded output. Someone on the indiepop list was kind enough to send me two further, very good, demos. And that's all I know about Melodika. Anyone?
But this song, WOW!! I was blown away the first time I heard it. What you want from pop music, really. A joyous electronic Smiths song. Soaring strings, a driving rhythm that insists you dance. Funny, wry, a great story. I have put this on every mix cd I've made since first hearing it in 2003. It ranks among my favourite all-time songs.
