What does this say?

Quote:
Beskrivning
"As drawn..." är popmusik helt enkelt. Man kan höra influenser från såväl Big Star, Guided by Voices som Kinks. Detta är gruppens debut. Mycket, mycket lovande med en hög nivå på låtskrivandet och orginalitet. Njut.


I can make out that they mention the influences and that it's pop music in English, and that it's a debut record. But the last sentence, I can't make heads or tails of.

Thanks!

Well...this is Intertran's sort-of translation:

Quote:
is pop wholly plainly. Husband able hear flu from såväl Big Stout , Guide village Voices as Choosy. This is bracket debut. Very , very fair with a high level on låtskrivandet and orginalitet. enjoy

That is the most ridiculous translation I have ever read! What a useless tool!

Thanks though, Phil! It was entertaining. :D

See, you gotta HIRE them to be REAL translators. The free site is just run by Eddie The Computer from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, or maybe by Holly from Red Dwarf.
