Take me to the backyard

sekten2

Did you ever heard about Sekten? This is another danish band, I posted something from Denmark 2 weeks ago, It was KLoAK (check the link for a few mp3). I won’t attempt to pitch many words setting what they make what they do… It’s like bedroom psychedelic thing, folk and jazz instincts, their songwritting is strong and delicate…  Sekten is awesome. Not sure about that, but Stephan Sieben plays on the band, providing his typical luminous, classicist, sounds for those gorgeous nordic, backyard girls sing. Stephen is a kind of danish Gustav Estjes, he leads Big Bombastic Collective, maybe the best danish nowadays-hippie band. Debut album from Sekten, “Annars är det tyst”, was released in 2005. In late 2008, they released “Mäktiga Vingar”. Get some music:

Brutal kids pregnant

LAUDRUPs

First memory of Denmark is Michael Laudrup (younger brother Brian), the 86′ World Cup player and magician (they scored 6! together on Uruguay); the most recent is KLoAK. In the middle, there is Big Bombastic Collective. 2006, they’ve made a true modern pop highlight, one of my personal top 5 records of 2006. One day I share something from them. KLoAK has put out an amazing, brutal and trippy album in that same year, the lovely called “A Boy Getting Pregnant“. I believe It’s a shame I’m coming across it only now, 3 years later. Like me, they love supermarket walking. You can download two songs and together with me start hoping they launch new stuff soon.
