Figurines - When the Deer Wore Blue
Denmark’s Figurines have a deep affection for Sixties music. But, unlike many of their Scandinavian counterparts, the band’s tastes run more to Beach Boy pop than Who-style riffage. Figurines’ latest album features such harmony-drenched songs as “Hey Girl” and “The Air We Breathe” that could fuel many a summer soundtrack. The band takes an economical approach to its material, with most tracks clocking in around the three-minute mark. One exception is “Drunkard’s Dream,” the album’s spacey, psych-rock highlight.
