Holidaying from his normal role as the lead singer of Sweden’s Alien, Jim Jidhed’s sixth solo release is a real grab‑bag of sheer fabulousness. Produced by The Murder Of My Sweet’s Daniel Flores, who is known for a heavier style, Push On Through reallybenefits from having a little additional crunch, though its beauty is never swamped in gratuitous power chords.
