Last year, this Danish auteur, who goes by the name Dinner, released a collection of his first three EPs, and conveniently called it 'Three EPs'. It was in my top albums list because of its catchy tunes, its influence from some of the more obvious pop artists from the 80s, and the eccentric style of his music, which reminded me a lot of Ariel Pink and his take on 60s music in the vein of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. All that, and mixed with a few dashes of "70s AM radio yacht rock". With all this eccentricity I really wondered where his sound would go for his debut album, and really it's mostly the same, but a bit less eccentric. The overall vibe tends towards more of that 80s pop sound, one that is still quite prevalent in modern bands today. The songs are strong, melodic and very catchy, but what makes Dinner really stand out is his voice. It's definitely an acquired taste, but I feel there is a pleasant quality to it, and something about the attitude of not caring one bit how he sounds - whether it be intentional or not - just makes his music all the more refreshing. I think if people approach this record with an open mind, bask in its unique qualities, they'll find there's a lot to be admired here.
