Ten Tangerine Tales

Ten Tangerine Tales is a fulfilling work on which Last Autumn's Dream, using soft, sweet vocals, rich, beautiful keyboards and neat guitar, carefully draws the warmth of Nordic melodic rock. The songs, by no means competing flashily, value above all the rich flow of beautiful melody and the sure comfort of the ensemble. A record where the band’s mature expression shines. Mikael Erlandsson’s warm voice is also an appeal. From the development from the opening intro to “Pickin’ Up the Pieces” and the drama of “2nd Look” to a cut like “For You,” every song is engaging, while cuts like “I Will See You Thru” and “The Man I Used to Be” convey the work’s fullness. Rich keyboards splendidly color that lyrical world. A record on which both powerful rock numbers and beautiful ballads firmly breathe with a mature, sure songcraft and a restrained yet outstanding beauty of technique. A calm, rich work letting you relax and carefully immerse in good, beautiful melody. Even in a prolific career, its quality has not dropped in the least. A refined, engaging record letting you fully savor the appeal of Nordic AOR — a record where the band’s steadiness shines.
