House of Tomidas play no-holds-barred pop music. Britta Persson%u2019s distinctive vocals an interesting contrast to the rough sway of the band. It seems as if songwriter Peter Hermansson, piano and accordion (earlier with Kristofer Åström%u2019s Hidden Truck), is an eccentric man with mood swings of sorts. Percussionist Niklas Johansson and guitarist Johan Strömgren complete the HoT-combo. Dark Times is the debut of this brilliant outfit, an alternative pop album that encourages the listener to let go of the safety net.
