Niki And The Dove

Now, I spoke this in the previous post, but I don't think I have spoken about my love for Niki and the Dove on here before.
Niki and the Dove is a group made up of two people, a man and a woman called Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf. They were formed in February 2010 and they are from one of the coolest places in he world; Europe!

So I accidentally stumbled across one of their songs by accident, called 'The Drummer' some time ago, and I thought the song was amazing, so I decided to buy their album on iTunes and it was possibly one of the best things I have ever decided to do. Their album is one of those albums that you can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a single song.

It's that good.

They are a mixture of indie and electronic funk, just my kind of music. I would as she is Sweden's equilibent to Florence and the machine and I think that is what got me hooked on their music.

So I went to Leeds festival in summer of last year I saw them and they blew my mind. I cried a little bit. Malin was amazing. I was mesmerised by her stage presence, and I was amazed by her voice and the fact that she sounds so much better live than recorded.

I min Leilighet?

So, I have found a new love for Norwegian music and came cross a Norwegian guy called Lars Vauler I listen to his song 'I Min Leilighet' and it was possibly one of the best sounding things I have ever come across by myself.



He is a Norwegian rapper, and I had never listened to any Norwegian music before, so it was all new to me, and it shocked me to find out how similar to us they are with their music taste and I loved what I was finding out about their music. I would say that the song is very "stonerish" and just reminds me of Amsterdam.

Although, I don't fully understand what they're saying in this song, I think the songs title means "In my apartment", so I just have to deduce everything from that.
Anyway, enough of my babbling, you must listen to him, his music is something that we would be into if he spoke English, so why not broaden our horizons with a little bit of Norwegian?

Maybe listen to other Norwegian artists while you're at it?
I have posted a link to his video above, so watch it and tell me what you think!
