If awards were given out to countries for their 'Outstanding Contribution To Music', then 20122s winner would surely be Denmark. Of course lots of great music appears from all corners of the globe every year, and it's only June so others still have time to compete, but without any doubt in our minds the Danish are currently so far out in front, scoring winner after winner, that we honestly don't think Lionel Messi fitted with laser-guided boots could score any more frequently. This has been reflected in The Recommender's posts, particularly throughout the early Spring, as we delivered [...]

We Were Born Canaries – Go Cold Turkey [mp3] (from debut album We Were Born Canaries , out now on A:Larm Music ) Danish duo deliver shadowy yet elegant tales of suburban longing and heartache. Their debut album was expertly mixed by Brian Batz (of Sleep Party People ). The Leg – Bake Yourself Silly [mp3] (from An Eagle to Saturn , [...]

Autolux give Danish pop-trio Giana Factory 's "Pixelated Truth" a makeover -- which includes an added sheen of sparkling electronica, pops and whizzes, and a moving rhythm. The 7" single is out now and features the original backed with this excellent Autolux remake. "This is the song from the Giana Factory debut that contains the lyric “…by the way somebody please save the youth…” for which the album was named. [...]

Autolux have remixed Giana Factory ’s ‘Pixelated Truth’, as part of a series of remixes done by friends of the band, adding a sinister static depth to the moody electro-noir. Beginning with what sounds like a sombre and desperate dialing-tone, the shuffling acoustic drums suddenly add a breathless sense of urgency. All sulky, clipped vocals – like human cries lost in a vast electronic landscape – the track feels like the troubled communication between man and machine. The lyrics too, which tell of the simple facts of virtual life in a computer [...]

C’est en périphérie de leur ville natale Copenhague que les trois danoises - Louise Foo (petite soeur de Sharin Foo / The Raveonettes ), Sofie Johanne et Lisbet Fritze posent les fondations de Giana Factory en 2008 . Le trio y puise son inspiration et s’y crée un univers unique, mosaïque envoûtante de pop-électro dark avant-gardiste... Faisant leurs premiers pas sur la scène de l'emblématique club Little Vega à Copenhague fin 2008 , elles sont vite invitées à révéler leur potentiel auprès d'un public et d'une critique scandinave [...]

I'm currently at sat in a hotel in Denmark reflecting on the last few days spent at SPOT Festival in Århus. I've seen so many amazing artists, some of whom I knew already but many I didn't. It all kicked on Thursday afternoon with a performance by Our Broken Garden, put together in collaboration with composer Gustaf Ljunggr. Staged in the city's cathedral, the Århus Domkirke, the performers - a choir, guitar, viola and cello, bass clarinet, and harp - were spread on raised stages amongst the audience along the aisle, with Brønsted at the front [...]
Glasvegas has remixed Giana Factory 's Rainbow Girl and gives away the remix (or "remake" as they call it) for free. Aside from being an interesting constellation the excitement fades quickly once you listen to it. Being my usual grumpy self, I recommend you check out the original version instead. Giana Factory - Rainbow Girl (Glasvegas remake) by [...]

Our favs, Scottish dreamrockers Glasvegas, flip the script on Giana Factoy's "Rainbow Girl" from last year. Nice fact: Giana Factory's singer Loui Foo is the sister of The Raveonettes Sharin Foo, which is cool because this refashioning of the track is totally Raves, especially latter day Raves, or is it Glasvegas are totally Raves? Don't ask us to decide. Peep the track below via RCRD LBL Giana Factory - Rainbow Girl (Glasvegas Remake) Giana Factory: ( Myspace ) ( Official ) ( Facebook ) [...]

Trentemøller (Anders Trentemøller) el productor danés ya hace un año que empezó a publicar temas de su último álbum (su 3 en solitario) y él se encargaba de escribir, producir, componer y tocar prácticamente todo el disco, contando con colaboraciones de amigos en casi cada tema, con el EP que acaba de publicar, ya lleva 4 EP del álbum, y como suele ser habitual en sus EP, incluye el tema original una versión alternativa o un remix suyo y 2 remixes externos, si en el primero, ‘Sycamore Feeling’ los invitados a remezclar fueron Gui Boratto, Thomas Schumacher y Mofus; en [...]

One of my favorite Danish bands (and bands, period) - Giana Factory - are coming out with their first full album, Save The Youth , this Fall. To get people ready, they are embarking on a US tour which starts this Saturday, March 12th - with a showcase at Glasslands with London group, Still Corners - presented by FADER & Popgun. If you can't make it to that one, they are also playing the 13th at Littlefield for a SXSW send off party, the 14th at Scandinavia House, and the 15th at Mercury Lounge with Whomadewho. Don't [...]
In New York we're turning a corner. It's not nice out, just warmer. Heartbreaking London-based pop quartet Still Corners have never played in New York. Here's your chance to see them! These are the details:
The Copenhagen 3 piece- Giana Factory has asked some of their prominent former tour mates & friends from around the world, to interpret songs from their upcoming album in a series of remakes.... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
We are all starting to feel a little more jolly as the season approaches so, in light of that, and as a reprieve from list-making , we asked two of our staff to curate a Christmas-themed cassette for the season. Side A is provided by Simon Roche and features the track from the now-ubiquitous (and rightly so) A Charlie Brown Christmas , that notorious reindeer lover Billy Corgan is joined by a 45-piece string ensemble on a Smashing Pumpkins holiday song from 1997, Yellow Magic Orchestra's Ryuichi Sakamoto, some Danish cheer and Low.

Denmark’s DJ/producer/musician Anders Trentemøller has just released his second album Into The Great Wide Yonder and State caught up with him in downtown Copenhagen a few hours before he boarded a tour bus for a month of gigs around Europe. Still fresh in our mind was his mind-blowing show at Roskilde in 2009 and the spookily unsettling video for his latest single. You’re playing Tripod on October 23rd. Last time you played you had a stellar Danish line-up including Henrik Vibeskov and Mikael Simpson, who’s in the band this time? [...]
