New Alphabeat Cover + Tracklist

Why is Scandinavian pop so good? Now I know why there is an entire site dedicated to just music from such a small region. Alphabeat is one of the shining examples of how great pop can be overseas. They have a new album coming, and even if their newest single isn't a total home run, fans got something this week that has their hopes kept high -- the album cover.

I don't know about you, but I am loving this album cover. Everything from their logo, to the confetti, to that amazing purple suit -- it's all just so perfect. Also as a nice surprise is the tracklist. Sadly only ten tracks long, the list includes both singles that have come out so far, "Vacation" and "Love Sea". Other tracks that look interesting are "Younger Than Yesterday", "Show Me What Love Is" and the title track "Express Non-Stop". This gives me the hopes that this album will end up great.

Many complained about the lack of originality in the lead single "Vacation." While "Love Sea" did get better reviews, it has yet to become available on US iTunes, so I can't exactly state my opinion on it. The album is set to drop September 24 (a popular date for promising albums it seems), but since the second single is not out yet in the US, there is no guarantee this will be the date for release in the states.
