Fronted by Anna Brønsted, their second, more upbeat, full release after the totally soporific 2008 When Your Blackening Shows.
They are playing at the Bestival, Isle of Wight UK in September.

Our Broken Garden – ‘Seven Wild Horses’ from the album ‘Golden Sea’
This version is a bit more upbeat than the album version.

Velvet vocals and piano with the occasional non intrusive backing instrument.
An utterly divine debut.

Some highly infectious tunes on Nanna Øland Fabricius latest release.
She is supporting Sia and Katy Perry on tour later this year, which can’t be a bad thing.
Her website did my head in a little though…

Wonderfully refreshing, slightly mad, modern cabaret?
Karen Duelund Guastavino sings her heart out.

This is an interesting project you should check out.
Artists interacting with fans and supporting charities/causes at the same time.

I picked up on it from a Tina Dico mailing list, her page on PM is here.

Featuring vocalist Pernille Rosendahl, this is a great collection of their brief, 2 album, existence.
You can download it for the ridiculous price of £7.99 from their website.
Lots of vids and music over on the site to.
