Oslo duo Konradsen share their beautifully minimalist new hymn "Baby Hallelujah", and like last year's gorgeous "Never Say A", it's a stunning union of sparse piano with subtle atmospheric electronic production, haunting samples, and understated but undeniably powerful vocals that soar and ebb, coalescing into something warm and moving that sounds quite unlike anything else hap

Happy Valentine's Day from Oslo's Ellie Linden and her band Das Body, who just unleashed their new single "Taller Than the Average Man", a glittery, unconventional stomper of a disco-synth-pop jam with the kind of skyscraping, cathartic chorus that the band is so, so good at...

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:

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 Pe

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. The group's exhilirating single "Graceland" was premiered today by CLASH, who said that the song "feels like early Madonna sluiced through the Drive soundtrack, as if Chromatics

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

Norway's seemingly unstoppable stream of entrancing and intriguingly off-kilter dance-pop continues (see: Smerz, Sassy 009, Das Body, Anna of the North, etc.) with the promising debut single from Oslo newcomer Othalie Husøy, aka Otha. The ethereal "One of the Girls", which Otha tells us was recorded in Vancouver and is "basically about being the boss of your own life", is tranc

Norwegian duo Smerz share a self-directed video for "Worth It", taken from their Have fun 12" EP, out today on XL Recordings. Featuring 3D animation by Yilmaz Sen, Natalia Stuyk, and Smerz's own Catharina Stoltenberg:

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:
