Are you ready for a brand new electro-pop darling? Copenhagen’s Karen Marie Ørsted (MØ) killed it with the release of “Pilgrim“ last October and followed suit with “Glass,” a space voyage of light drums and cascading synths. Aside from giving us a new reason to use the [Alt] function on our macs, MØ gets extra credit for including the line “turn the lights off so our horny souls can get some private time.” I mean, really. It just doesn’t get better. 

While her distribution currently remains through Sony Music Denmark, word on the street is that Neon Gold is cooking up a 7″ in the near future. Stay tuned.

WhoMadeWho – “Below The Cherry Moon”

The most misleading image you'll find of this band

The second example on Electric Panda Music of Denmark making a rush at Sweden‘s share of the synth pop market, WhoMadeWho is a bright new group with a lot of polish. “Below The Cherry Moon” is off their upcoming Brighter, due out March 5th on Kompakt.

It’s a slow, moody synth pop track with all the makings of a future soundtrack record.

Also, my apologies for the recent infrequent posting. Moved to a new city and a more demanding job, but posts should start coming back more regularly now.

Girlfriends – “Nowhere Near Your Heart”

Hay girl hay?

Denmark decided their neighbors were having too much fun and wanted to get in on the indie pop action. Meet Girlfriends, a trio with an ear for retro and an eye for pastel. Their single, “Nowhere Near Your Heart” wonderfully samples New Order and offers something a little rougher around the edges than what we normally hear from their Swedish counterparts.

If they keep this up their band name may become a self fulfilling prophecy. Check out more stuff on their SoundCloud page or download it all for free from this link.
