Twee is a silent killer and Morrissey was right: pretty girls really do make graves. Thus, Swedes can always trusted to lace sugary pop sweetness with an undercurrent of wracked, unwieldy emotion. In the vein Belle & Sebastian or Acid House Kings in the midst of a broody rock-out, “I Told You So (Didn’t I)” introduces itself with uplifting aplomb — “Liftmeup, liftemeup, liftmeup…. HIGHHHHHHHH” — only to smack back with a harmony so catchy its dark ethos is rendered a circus of untold emotion. “I told you you would hate me (I told you so). You thought it was a joke (I told you so). I don’t see you laughing (I told you so). I hate to say I told you so (I told you so).”
