Musicohm.com reviews Tobias Froberg's God's Highway
19/02/07Tobias Froberg found fame, albeit of a limited and often looked down upon kind, when his music was picked up by Panasonic for a TV ad.
For his new release from his latest album, Somewhere In The City, the Swedish indie singer songwriter has turned squarely to ‘60s America for inspiration. God’s Highway is a folksy piece of West Coast rock, with gentle precussion and multi-track harmonies - very Turn Turn Turn. Recorded with a gospel quartet to give the vocals a lift, it has the simple melody and repetitiveness of a good folk number, and you soon find yourself tapping toes and ‘mmm-mmm-mmm-ing’ along.
Froberg’s voice is light but has a very warm timbre, sweet and effortless - music for a warm summer evening when you’re in a reflective mood.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Poptones But Were Afraid To Ask Part 2
07/06/06Hi!
We take a break from obsessively watching the Big Brother website (Housemate sits on chair! Housemate makes breakfast!) to give you a Poptones News Update!
Change of Name!
First up—Poptones is changing the name! In accordance to our bylaws as set by Alan McGee, he thinks a name change should be order to reflect all the changes that have happened to the label. The name change being: Poptones Recording Corporation. Why? Because Cherrystones kept on referring to Poptones as the Poptones Recording Corporation to him at Dead Meadow and it just sorta’ stuck. Hooray!
