currently listening: OH LAND

Boo randomly discovered these two videos and posted them on my facebook wall.
I must say that she knows me well :-)
Totally in love with this new artist. Electropop, woohoo!

Oh Land is a peculiar new cinematic electropop Dane who recently sailed across the sea to the artistic haven of Brooklyn, NY. With an opera singer for a mother, a church organist for a father and Björk's Homogenic on constant rotation, Oh Land was enraptured by the combination of experimental and classical arts. "My goal is to sound like I'm from 2050, but still feel really classic, like the music is an old friend," said Oh Land. She spent her days pirouetting as a ballet dancer at the Danish Royal Ballet Academy when an injury forced her to reinvent herself and discover her true talent and passion as a musician. Oh Land soon released her first album, Fauna, which garnered critical acclaim in her homeland of Denmark. Her soundscapes are lavish, crunchy, symphonic, brute and captivated with rhythms that fly apart. She translates the sounds live via her "contraption" - a homemade one-woman-band music box topped with balloon video projections (seeing is believing). Her music is for movement and new songs such as the thumping "Sun of a Gun" and euphoric "White Nights" have proven to make even the most portentous get up and dance. - from OH LAND's myspace

No wonder she dances so well in this video.
(And I really like her style in fashion. Nice capes and dresses.)
