Vocalist Niklas Gustafsson has a very strong voice: crystal clear, with just the right amount of rasp. Put a voice like that on top of great guitar parts with just the right amount of buzz and memorable pop songs with touches of roots rock and 80's pop and you've got a winning combination. Throw in a guitar solo from Television's Richard Lloyd too, just for good measure and we're really talking.
There aren't really any highlights here - true to their name, all the songs on Always The Same reside in equally Higher Elevations. Highly recomended for fans of Lucksmiths, Replacements, Smiths, Buffalo Tom, Psychedelic Furs, etc.
