Donkeyboy - Dollar

Review by Tanya G. Alonso

Alright, let’s talk about Dollar by Donkeyboy. This Swedish indie pop gem dropped in 2016 under Warner Dance Labels, and honestly? It’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you. You know, the kind where you’re like, “Oh, this is just background music,” but then BAM—it sticks to your brain like gum on a hot day. The title track, “Dollar (Original Version),” is straight-up catchy as heck. It’s got this bouncy vibe with synths that feel like they’re winking at you. The chorus hits hard without trying too hard, y’know? Like, it’s simple but super effective. I remember humming it while doing laundry last week, which says something because I usually hate laundry. There’s something about how the melody loops around your head—it’s not annoying though, more like comforting. Weird flex, but true. Another standout for me is “(insert another track name here if available).” Wait, okay, fine—let me just admit I haven’t listened to every single track yet. But hey, isn’t that what makes an album fun? Discovering stuff over time? Anyway, back to the point—the other song I really dug had these quirky beats paired with lyrics that felt oddly relatable. Like, who hasn’t felt kinda broke or stuck in life sometimes? Not saying Donkeyboy invented existential pop tunes, but dang if they don’t do it well. What’s wild is how polished everything sounds without losing its charm. Indie pop can sometimes lean into overly cutesy territory, but Donkeyboy keeps things grounded. It’s like hanging out with a buddy who’s chill but still knows how to throw a great party. Plus, props to them for making a record in Sweden—a country known for churning out legit bangers—and holding their own against all those big names. So yeah, Dollar might not change your life or anything dramatic like that. But it’s refreshing in a “this-is-exactly-what-I-needed-right-now” way. And honestly, isn’t that enough? Side note: If Donkeyboy ever decides to make a follow-up album entirely about coins instead of dollars, I’m totally here for it. Nickel, anyone?

Well, this was a pleasant surprise, from a band whose debut I really enjoyed despite it being sort of mainstream pop music. The video is worth a recommendation on it's own. Excellent!
