Genre: Scandinavian Indie Pop
This is the sophomore effort for the pop band from Copenhagen, and it's a blast. There is no pretext to pass as serious as they put
a 21st century spin on the late-'60s world of Burt Bacharach and Sly Stone.
There's reggae, middle eastern pop, Motown, prog and disco. You'll also find hip-hop beats, Southern soul, and loads of horns. The opener, Gold Rush Part 1 could be the intro track to a remake of the Mod Squad and Cloak and Dagger would have been a great James Bond song. Lead vocalist Mette Lindberg
has a voice that's a cross between Björk and Duffy.
Give a listen to a couple of my favorites:
Major (and you'll know why Amy Winehouse them open for her) Heart Attack, or the title track, Out of Frequency. (For a special treat, catch this accoustic take on Out of Frequency.)
