After a four year wait, Stockholm three-piece Museum of Bellas Artes cut the ribbon on their eagerly anticipated debut LP, Pieces, out 11th November 2013 on Best Fit Recordings.

Full-bodied, baroque and seductively melodramatic, Pieces trails the darker climes of luxe-pop, melting disco beats into church organ, sustained synth pads into chiming bells and pistols-at-dawn guitars into post-punk bass lines.

Alice Luther's red velvet voice flails like a Grand Dame treading the Boards - the operatic electronica of opener 'Fantasia' paying its dues to Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain. 'Twine' scurries along in a balearic whirlwind and the haunting presence of 'Maze of Shells' lingers like a Victorian ghost.

'Bear Cubs' and 'Swan Boats' flex their rhythmic muscles with guitar and never has a 'Relapse' sounded more enticing. It's all brought to a suitably theatrical conclusion with album clincher 'Glass'.

Childhood friends Joanna Herskovits, Leonard Öhman and Alice Luther assembled the band back in 2009 and released the neon-flecked debut EP 'Days Ahead' a year later.

As they up the sonic histrionics and dim the lights, forget everything you thought you knew about Swedish pop and start over.
