Niki and the Dove
DARK SWEDISH FEMALE FRONTED ELECTRO-POP, potentially the greatest musical genre known to man.
Anyway, this lot (allegedly a group) have been around for a while and have gotten a bit of blog hype, and this is with their album still forthcoming. As far as I'm aware, they only have a few tracks out there at the moment, their two singles "DJ, Ease My Mind" and "The Fox", with b-sides "Under The Bridges" and "Gentle Roar", and other tracks "Mother Protect" and "Winterheart" joining them. My personal favourite is the pretty epic 9 minutes long "Under The Bridges" which builds to a huge spazzy melancholic synth climax, pretty much amazing -
but the singles are pretty tasty also -
DJ Ease My Mind
The Fox -
It is pretty telling of where they are placed in the musical world, with their youtube related artists being Lykke Li, The Knife, Royksopp and Fever Ray.
WELL lookiung forward to the album, Under The Bridges had better be on it!

Is her dove alive or STUFFED?Originally Posted by JET BOY
I am not down with taxidermy and do not wish to support it.

Oh google image search has pictures of the dove in other positions. Either it is real or has been stuffed but given POSABLE WINGS (less likely).
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and have a listen.
REALLY REALLY GOOD
My other favourite is this rather fetching remix

"Under The Bridges" is so spectacularly life-changingly amazing, I do not have enough good words for it - even at 8 or whatever minutes long it doesn't outstay its welcome, I always want FURTHER HANDCLAPS at the end. I really hope it ends up on whatever album they inevitably release.
I noticed they are doing the NME Radar tour of the UK soon, hopefully they will infect us in a BIG WAY* in 2012.
*A big way being sharing a few of the column inches Lykke Li got this year.

New single Tomorrow premiered on Annie Mac's show yesterday:
LOVE IT
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
Oh and we're finally getting an album too, called 'Instinct', due out May 14th
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
Not that anyone CARES at this point, but there's an album sampler on youtube with 5 songs from the album:
God, Tomorrow really is utterly fabulous
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
Oh and indeed Tomorrow now has a video

I really like Tomorrow, the best thing they've come up with so far.
just discovered "Tomorrow"! LIKING.
Album out tomorrow. This download only () bonus track is wonderful:
I LOVE that. It's completely hypnotic.
I haven't looked at what's on the iTunes version, but there are two different download versions on amazon. The first 12 tracks (I assume the same as the physical CD), and then another 16 track version with that 'Taylor' track as one of the extras.
Tomorrow really is rather great
