Despite a 16 year hiatus since their debut release (2001's critically acclaimed At 4000 Meters) Everest shows that the passage of time has not diminished a style that flutters effortlessly between the polar opposites of 60's Byrdsian jangle-pop and mid 90's Britpop.
In my opinion their are two areas where this album/band excels. Initially the jangle inflected tracks of Five Times A Day, Don't Need Don't Care and According to You (see below) are beautiful examples of Linda Karlsberg's providing the melodic impetus that enables the fluttered drums of Marcus Seversgard and the unobtrusive melodic guitar work of Richard Ohrn to weld together in tracks that show the modern need to add reverb and echo to anything potentially pretty is massively overrated.
