Review by Patrick Green

Mobile Homes' 1984 album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of 80s synth-pop music. The album features ten tracks, each with catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms and lyrics that range from introspective to lighthearted.

The album opens with the track "Feeling Better", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious synth hooks and danceable beats. The standout track on the album is "The More I Think The Deeper I Sink", which features a haunting melody and introspective lyrics that capture the angst of the era.

Throughout the album, Mobile Homes pays homage to the synth-pop greats of the 80s, with nods to Depeche Mode, New Order and Pet Shop Boys. The production is top-notch, with crisp, clean sounds that transport the listener back to the heyday of the genre.

Notes

Old demo recordings from the early days of the band. Sold directly from the band web site, if I recall correctly. Comes in DVD slipcase.
These tracks might show up on a forthcoming release by newly founded Dödsdans Records.
Sound quality varies, but overall pretty good considering the sources.

About Mobile Homes

Swedish music group founded in 1984 by Andreas Brun, Patrik Brun, Hans Erkendal, and Per Liliefeldt. The group plays typical synthpop similar to Depeche Mode with the exception of a period in the late 90s and early 2000s when the music was more guitar and rock influenced. The name The Mobile Homes is taken from British rock/pop band Japan's song Still Life in Mobile Homes from the album Tin Drum. The members have also played together in the side project Sapporo 72 where the music is more inspired by Kraftwerk. Their most successful album was Nothing but Something which on June 5, 1991 was on the sales list at number 42. Over the years, Andreas Tilliander, Markus Mustonen and Sami Sirviö have also been members of the band.

They sound like a synth version of The Smiths
