Harmless, happy, sunny pop from Norway. Pop/alt sensitivity in the style of Sufjan Stevens, occasionally with some noisy breaks to spice things up.
FCC: Clean
Try: 2, 9, 6
1) 2:08 Chaotic, slightly out of tune intro. Everybody bangs away, does their thing. Charming pop, lots of drum fills.
2) * 2:43 Guitar/bass intro. Horns and keys for the chorus
3) 3:31 I think there’s a saw in there. Long instrumental intro, transitions to acoustic indie pop
4) 2:24 Chaos at about 1 minute, otherwise straightforward sensitive indie rock
5) 2:56 Slow, acoustic. Guitar and a touch of keys. Ends with a noisy, experimental outro
6) * 2:19 Mid-tempo straight up guitar, organ action. Soft female back-ing vocals.
7) 2:58 Lot’s o’ screeching, noise. Then, harmless folkish indie with a bit of strings.
8) * 2:19 Handclaps, keys, and good times. Very cute and catchy
9) * 2:24 Warm, fuzzy indie rock. Sounds like a warm afternoon on the porch.
10) 0:15 Esoteric indie. Distant and not as warm as the rest of the pack.
11) 3:25 Like a more lo-fi Feist. Loosely structured.
12) 2:47 Happy, jangly indie pop. Acoustic guitar for your money.
