UNDER BYEN

I cannot listen to enough of Denmark's Under Byen (pronouced "Oon-der Boon"). Since I find it only distracting and never of much help to actually try and describe musics, a medium more felt than heard, let me simply urge you to listen to their latest release, Samme Stof Som Stof.

It's the most affecting album I've experienced since 1995, when I heard Portishead "Wandering Star" for the first time.

There is also a strong design element to the band, reminiscent of Stereolab: http://www.spinhouse.dk/ude-af-drift.html

If you are itching to hear them RIGHT NOW, go here.
