To Emil Friis, the road to Nashville has “many bends”. To his listeners, his album could arguably use a few more.
Denmark
Oh No Ono – Eggs
Oh No Ono are still one of the best psychedelic bands around, and Eggs is an impressive effort. It just needs to be taken in small doses.
Choir of Young Believers – This Is For The White In Your Eyes
Imperfect, and suffering from a loss of steam in its second half, this is nevertheless a record to recommend quite heartily according to Andy Johnson.
Say hello to Bodebrixen: free mp3 and debut London show next week
A quick heads up about a rather wonderful new Danish band about to make their debut UK appearance next week. An mp3 of the track ‘Deadman’ is available inside!
No and The Maybes announce debut UK release
We don’t know too much about these guys to be fair. Apart from the fact that they’re called No and The Maybes, they hail from Denmark, they write skewed, quirky pop songs and are really rather bloody good. Video inside.
VETO – Crushing Digits
Touting their wares on these fair shores for the first time are VETO, who put in a not-unimpressive attempt at a rocktronica opus with their second album. Andy Johnson reviews.
Tina Dico – A Beginning / A Detour / An Open Ending
Containing some of the most thought-provoking, inspiring and moving songs I’ve heard in 2008, this is a set with extremely broad appeal.
Henrik – Faction
Henrik’s Faction could be considered the sonic equivalent of the working week’s final day. The clock tick tocks with all the velocity of a snail making its way to a French restaurant. Billy Hamilton is not impressed.
Our Broken Garden – When Your Blackening Shows
Essentially, Our Broken Garden is Anna Brønsted, a Danish singer-songwriter. Together with her band, she becomes Our Broken Garden and her first full-length release consists of this, When Your Blackening Shows. Andy Johnson doesn’t seem too impressed…
