At the end
When i find you
There is disco in my head
And now i have an army
It is not because I love Budapest, but the following pop-revolution comes from Hungary.
Hungary; a country where international careers in music are few and far between. However, vibrant signs of life were sighted years ago: back then an all-round musician by the name of Erik Sumo, who in real life is called Ambrus Tövisházi, successfully introduced himself with his debut album My Rocky Mountain (2005).
Back then pop, dub, jazz and Hungarian folk-elements were crossed with extremely catchy melodies.
By now, the Erik Sumo Band is a seven-strong project and their album The Trouble Soup (2010) is a bubbling cauldron of great pop-anthems.
Explosive synthesizers, eastern passages, indie and progressive in three-minute operas, that could have been penned by the Pram, Arcade Fire, Flaming Lips or the B 52's.
It's crystal clear, the Hungarian pop saga has to be rewritten.
