VARSEL - Poplåten 7'' 1981

Another rare single by a band of which I can't find any info on the www, only so much: Varsel consisted of Ronny (vocals/synth/guitar), Johan (guitar), Harald (bass), Jocke (drums) and this little dittie was released via Eko records and offers two nice powerpop goodies. Side a shine with a melodic, brisk mid-tempo cream topping with excellent guitars and we enjoy a really great solo that chirps like a bird in the morning until the songs ends. The flip also flutes up to dance and is accompanied by subtle synthies and unfortunately here too a fade out, I don't like that kind of ending, but you can't have everything. But what you can have are these two dresser songs and I've heard worse, and the four are not represented on compilations. Probably they only came together for this record or couldn't find a reasonable label with their kind of music.
