Description

Rome wasn't built in a day, but with fourth album, Paper Tigers, beat-rock throwbacks Caesars are now courting belated fame outside of their native Sweden thanks to Apple's iPod TV commercial, which uses the farfisa-thumping "Jerk It Out" - sounding a little like the Inspiral Carpets with a mild reggae fetish. Like fellow countrymen The Hives, Caesars adore the nascent R&B of the ancient Rolling Stones but Paper Tigers betrays all sorts of budget Sixties garage-rock fascinations from The Electric Prunes to ? And The Mysterians and - when a memorably angular riff is called for as on "Throwback"more… and "It's Not The Fall That Hurts" - the crunching 1-2-3 simplicity of The Kinks. Caesars' ear for melody didn't stop when the Sixties went into meltdown for "My Heart Is Breaking Down" sounds rather like an impertinent homage to The Only Ones' "Another Girl Another Planet". Cheap, corny and deeply unphilosophical for all the right reasons, Paper Tigers is clean, drug-free tuneful Sixties party fun. William Shakespeare was unavailable for comment but surely even he'd agree that Caesars are to be praised, not buried. --Kevin Maidment
