"Gloria", the opening track, following a brief Arapahoe sun dance chant, punches through like a great, lost Heartbreakers single; if perhaps it were Mike Peters fronting the band. There is a tasteful mix of influences here ranging from the Stones to World Party. Echoes of mid-70`s George Harrison can be heard on "And I Can Fly". But can this bird sing, you ask? Yes. Hailing from Sweden, Christer Follin & Co. have encapsulated some of the strongest roots-pop to come from Europe. Melodic and catchy, punchy and jangly, anthematic and classic, Religion plays like a Wallflowers record, only better. Miles of Music.
