This album has been written, produced and arranged by Stefan Olofsson and Daniel Andersson, while it has been mixed by Daniel Lindforss and Stefan Olofsson. It is true that dynamics don't tell everything about the quality of a recording but we believe it is a good point to start with. For example Naim Audio Forcione's album "Tears of joy" (on Naim Audio audiophile label!) scores a DR12 value.

There's also a brief instrumental track ( No man's land).īefore analyzing the most relevant aspects of the recording, let me show you the screenshot of the DR software applied to this recording. Surfing through the 11 tracks of this self-titled first album it is hard to find a song that is less entertaining than the others, though it contains pearls that shine a little bit brighter: the already cited I've changed and New York Town, Mistery Jane and Lost in a mind game. And what about New York Town? Plain AOR of the highest class! Just listen to the first track ( I've changed) and you'll be hooked! It is a perfect Steely Dan -style song with an irresistible pace and rhythm. Oh yes, there's nothing really NEW (I mean, innovative) inside but if you feel the need for plain and simple good songs, magistrally played and arranged, you've just found what you were searching for. I has quickly become my daughter's favourite album in a snap! Let me put this straight: this album is a real surprise and, what's worse, it is extremely addictive too: put it into you CD player and you'll listen to it again and again - stuck in reapeat - for weeks, without feeling the need for something different. Born as a Steely Dan cover band during the college years these guys have succeeded in finding their own style, an elegant cocktail of rock, jazz, soul and rhythm'n'blues. I've been waiting for so long for a new album from Steely Dan.and here it is, signed, sealed and delivered right to my door! State Cows are Daniel Andersson (vocals, guitar) and Stefan Olofsson (keyboards, bass) and if nobody tells you they are from Sweden you'd swear they come right from the West Coast of the USA.
