    Heard them on Pandora. Got the album and its excellent. Lead singer sounds a bit like the Royksopp singer. Album has a really nice sound, not overproduced atall and lyrics are mildly sarcastic. Anyone listen to them at home?

    singer is the guy from Kings of Convienience, if you like it you should look into getting one of their albums.

    the electronic band, refers to another band that Erland was in.. he has a load of side projects the only one of note would be whitest boy alive.

    King of Convience are slow acustic stuff they like early Belle and Sebastian or Turin Brakes. very nice music. Riot on an Empty Street is a great album with i'd rather dance with you being the highlight. you should pick it up even just for that song.

    TWBA are one of the best bands I have ever heard. Alive is an epic album. Lead track is Burning (below)

    Check out Fred Falke's remix of Golden Cage. Electronic genius.
