Scandanavian Sublimity

Recently, I've developed a weird obsession for Scandanavian electropop music. It wasn't a conscious thing but it just seems as though almost every musician I like these days originates from Northern Europe.

Par example:

Sweden - Robyn, Zeigeist, Lykke Li, The Knife, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Sally Shapiro, Those Dancing Days, The Sounds

Denmark - Alphabeat (who I'm going to see perform this coming Tuesday)

Norway - Annie, Röyksopp, Datarock

Datarock are my latest discovery. A trio from Bergen, Norway, Datarock's quirky brand of electro-rock is right up my alley. They've also worked with fellow Bergenite, Annie, on a couple of occasions, Their album has been out yonks but I only happened upon this video yesterday. It's pure genius.
