Norway's Otha follows up her debut single "One of the Girls" -- one of the most empowering club jams of 2018 -- with another absolute anthem, on which she once again displays her uncanny gift for creating profound and cathartic mini-mantras for the dancefloor that, if repeated enough, can be willed into existence:
Stockholm/Oslo trio Postiljonen take their soaring Scandinavian dream-pop to dizzying new heights on their fittingly titled new single, out today on Hybris. "Put your head back in the game / Get up, lose the chain / We got stars to claim", implores singer Mia Brox Bøe, her wistful plea brimming with hope as "Chasing Stars" blasts off into the rare air of the stratosphere reserved for M83's most towering jams...
Super psyched to share this stellar new video from Oslo's Ellie Linden and her band Das Body for their undeniable neon-pop jam "Graceland", starring Ellie and an absurdly jacked bodybuilder. Shout out to the Fader for the premiere, in which they astutely call the surreal, glowing, Lykke Hagen-directed visuals "a chic neo-noir dance party for one", also noting the strong Twin Peaks vibe. Watch below + pick up Das Body's debut EP here.
Oslo's Ellie Linden and her band Das Body follow up their irresistible debut single/summer jam "Boys" with another pulsing neon-hued gem from their debut EP, out next month on Luminelle Recordings...

Ellie's already been called "brilliant" by i-D on the strength of a handful of rousing, increasingly buzzy performances in Das Body's native Norway, and the group's debut single "Boys" is a balmy and brash summer jam that conjures some vibrant lost '80s dance-pop anthem and earliest Lykke Li vibes in equal measure...
Following a couple of extremely hypnotic and restorative singles that we've had in heavy rotation on our SiriusXM show from the moment we heard them, Oslo's Sassy 009 shares one of the most promising and lowkey life-giving (it's the flute) debuts of the year, officially out Friday on Hard Up / Luft Recordings:
Norwegian duo Smerz share yet another murky and extremely heady late-night banger that has us even more psyched for their forthcoming XL debut:
Oslo's SASSY 009 share another gorgeous, hypnotically flickering electronic-pop jam -- that fluttering new age flute manages to simultaneously soothe and rip -- taken from the group's Do You Mind EP, out November 3rd on Hard Up / Luft Recordings...
Norwegian experimental club-pop duo Henriette Motzfeldt + Catharina Stoltenberg aka Smerz share another sick track from their forthcoming XL Recordings debut. Check the shadowy Smerz-directed video for "no harm" below:
