Next Monday, March 11, Swedish synth-pop fourpiece The Mary Onettes release their third album, Hit The Waves (artwork above), out via Labrador/EMI.
Their follow-up to 2009's Islands, it's wrought with 80s-indebted fluid guitars and strident snares, and frontman Philip Ekström occasionally channelling Robert Smith, all of which amounts to a gloriously melodramatic LP, aided by Dan Lissvik on production duties, adding his trademark glacial sheen.
