The Boy I Wish I Never Met

Shelflife Records continues it's comeback with the next installment of it's combo 7-inch/CD collection: "The Boy I Wish I Never Met" by A Smileand a Ribbon. A Smile and a Ribbon is Rebecca Mehlman and Martin Lindqvist, a Swedish combo who was more-than-willing to take the unlucky fate of Rebecca's failed relationship and set it to music. The result is bubblegum pop most sanguine. But watch out, this sweet spoonful of sugar might give you a toothache if you're not careful. The Boy I Wish I Never Met is a pure P!O!P! album that draws influences from 1950's girl bands, 90's twee, and a whole lot of quirky personality. Its a not-so-innocent look at childhood fancy and lost love. 13 bittersweet songs on CD and Vinyl. A limited edition pressing of 300 copies. Photograph by: Xavier Gomez ?CD: 9 tracks, 7": 4 tracks
