New Music Revue: Dinner best not served at dinner

Dinner
Psychic Lover
(Captured Tracks)
3.5/5

Psychic Lover is the debut album from Danish producer and vocalist Anders Rhedin. The album includes 10 pop songs, and it is successful in what it sets out to do.

The backing tracks of the album are clear; they do not have a lot of noise and chaos, and they mix very effectively with the lyrics. When the music and lyrics are perfectly combined together, the “psychic lovers” theme is better shown.

However, the artist’s name is Dinner, so, as an experiment, I tried to listen to the album while eating my dinner. The result?

Well, I cannot deny that these are good songs for listening to in the evening, and even in the morning (Rhedin has said he gets inspiration in the morning).

Unfortunately, at dinnertime, listening to these songs is very terrible. When I was eating, I listened to the album, and I almost choked on my meal, because sometimes the tunes suddenly change or disappear. It’s not a good experience at dinnertime.
