Good Enough

Yet another Icelandic export to match Sigur Ros and Bjork. The single Good Enough is the second single to be released from the band’s up and coming new album The Angela Test, due for release in August. This puts me in mind of black rebel motorcycle club but a more laidback version. The more I hear the song, the more I like it and the more I want to play it and the more I play it the more it changes and starts sounding like u2 but it’s still unique enough to be a hit. Admittedly not a tune that you could jump up to and start playing air guitar, its not got the oomph of some of its influences songs, but nevertheless its enjoyable. There is room in the market for this type of band,

although with the release of the brmc’s new album there will be competition for the Icelandic band to break through. If Good Enough is anything to go by I will be looking and listening out to see what Leaves come up with next.
