I was really excited for the release of White Magic by Ceo near the beginning of the summer. Ceo is a new solo project from Eric Berglund of The Tough Alliance. If you are a long time reader of this blog, you know how much I LOVE listening to The Tough Alliance’s A New Chance during the summer—it is the absolute perfect summer record, and one of my favourites of the last decade! So obviously, I had a pretty high expectation for Ceo's debut record. By and large, I think Ceo succeed—I am more than satisfied with White Magic, partly because it sounds like a Tough Alliance record, but mostly because it is a damn good record! Let’s get back to sounding like TTA part: there is definitely no complaint here as we might never get another TTA record... I’ll take whatever I can get! What Berglund did differently (or more noticeably) with Ceo and White Magic is the incorporation of more ambient or dreamy moments—I really love the buildups/tempos in "All Around", "Oh God, Oh Dear" and "Den Blomstertid Nu Kommer", I hope to hear more songs like those in future Ceo releases. I know this post is way late, but there is still a little time left to make White Magic as your 2010 summer album... well, I guess there’s always next summer!Love And Do What You Will [wicked-cool song]
