Music Reviews: Fever Ray, The Thermals

By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, April 16, 2009.

When T.S. Eliot wrote "April is the cruelest month," he could well have been looking out over spring in New England. The snow may be melting, but for every glorious afternoon sunshine, there’s a blustery gray day to remind us that summer is still months away. Word of Mouth music reviewer Bill Slammon is here with two new releases that reflect the dichotomy of April - some icy Swedish electronica from Fever Ray, and The Thermal’s jubilant yet dour new album of pop-punk.

Bill is a clinical psychologist at the Winchester School in Winchester, NH. He hosts the new music show Saturday Morning on WVEW in Brattleboro, Vermont.
