Artist: Niki and The Dove

Everything is shot in my house and garden in Sweden and the scenes from the road is where I walk every day. I was heavily involved in most parts of the video but we were a lot of people who worked hard together. Swedish electro she-popper Karin Park gives us the debut visuals for her latest single 'Restless.' The clip was shot on location in Sweden and was directed by Olle Lundin. Her new project ' Highwire Poetry ' will see daylight on May 28th.

For some reason, my phone refused to let me subscribe to the Great Escape text service, and without adequate O2 coverage, I hadn't had a chance in hell to load the official festival app. In hindsight, either of these may have informed me that the entire Island Records showcase at the Loft featuring Lower Than Atlantis , King Charles (my main interest in this stage, after Tom's hilarious phone interview with the man ) and Tribes had been cancelled. But as I learned over this weekend, [...]

With the festival season beckoning, the seasonal weather up north has brightened up as some of the brightest upcoming stars look to start their summer crawl on Saturday the 5th of May at Live at Leeds , the same weekend as Camden Crawl and ahead of other upcoming major city festivals. With this 1-day line-up arguably looking stronger than the London weekend this year, it's difficult to see why you wouldn't drop up for the day, especially with so many bustling venues in the Leeds city centre within a short walking distance. Beginning [...]

Stockholm band Niki and the Dove was one of the hottest commodities at the Great Escape this year and I'll admit, I didn't bother with the queue at Horatio's on the pier on Thursday night because I figured I'd never get in. (Bad luck, as they ended up cancelling their appearance at Sound City due to illness.) But for me and anyone else who couldn't be there at the Great Escape this year, we've got you covered. The fine folks at Bands in [...]

The newest addition to Sweden's ever-growing canon of expertly crafted pop music, Niki and The Dove may be at a disadvantage from the offset. While their music still has an original heart beating behind its array of keyboards and reverberating drums, it is chasing on the coat-tails of some serious talent – Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Little Dragon; the list goes on. After the synth mastery of 'The Drummer' helped clear a path through to the public conscience last year, fans have been tentatively waiting for the release of this album, with hopes that it would live up [...]

Popping Up is our recurring look at new artists making noise on the music landscape. Because, hey — Madonna and Britney were once unknown, too. There must be something in the water over there in Sweden. How else can you explain the profusion of polished electro-pop acts like Robyn , Miike Snow and Ace of Base , who all call Scandinavia's middle country home? (Not to mention all that stylish and affordable prefab Ikea furniture!) So it's not at [...]

Niki & The Dove - 'Instinct' (UK Release: 14 May '12) // Words: Rajan Lakhani Niki & The Dove 's debut album 'Instinct' is a beguiling collection of songs which sees the duo more than deliver on the hype . Some might complain about the familiarity of the record given many of the tracks have already been released via EPs but that shouldn't detract from 'Instinct' which should be judged on its own merits. [...]

"The Swedes offered too greedy a bite of their album beforehand, leaving no chance for a tang to come tickle one's pallet.." Niki and the Dove - Instinct (2012) 6.5/10 Mercury Records You might have already had a taste of the electronic shamanic chants of Nikki and the Dove thanks to their pre-released tracks or remarkable remixes – namely that of Goldroom that pumped up the tribal sounding drums to fit an underground dance floor – and if not you're about to witness the Nordic full moon eeriness of a musical [...]

No próximo dia 14, o mundo receberá um dos maiores registros de 2012 no cenário da música: o disco de estréia do duo sueco Niki & The Dove , batizado de Instinct .

Duas delas foram disponibilizadas pela própria banda e virou assunto por um bom tempo nas redes sociais. A questão é que Instinct já pode ser considerado um dos melhores álbuns de 2012 na opinião [...]

Listening to Niki and the Dove is like being caressed by disco-inspired primitive electrogasms while staring into the eyes of an iamamiwhoami-esque Swedish vixen, all while shamelessly gyrating to the beats. This trio is a welcome addition to the waves of beat-heavy electropoppers with ambient, tribal sounds prevailing in their hybrid of nu-disco & bjorkian electropop. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for their upcoming release, INSTINCT , due out May 14th.

Listen to Niki And The Dove 's debut album "Instinct" below. Over the last few months Swedish pop duo Niki And The Dove have been quite prolific in their output, not just with music from their debut album, but also their EP and an upcoming mixtape too. Just in the last month we've heard, and seen, "Tomorrow" , the track "Hot Summer" from their upcoming "Mixtape 13 , as well as "All [...]

However there are barely any "new" songs on Niki & the Dove 's long-awaited debut album Instinct , this somehow feels like a greatest hits collection. An awesome one which unleashes your inner beast.

Instinct is out next week, pre-order your (signed) copy over at their website now.

One week before it's release, Niki and the Dove stream the ir full debut album Instinct for our pleasure. As you may have seen, i've been raving about them since their very first video, DJ, Ease My Mind what feels like a lifetime ago. They've given us a complete album which is sonically cohesive, yet each track has it's own imagery and unique feel. I can't tell you a favorite, because they're all fantastic. Listen below... Which are your favorites so far? Niki [...]

Camden Crawl (4-6 May '12) // Words: Saam Das Building on a relatively successful day one of the 2012 Camden Crawl , things got off to less of a joyous start on the Sunday as not one but two passenger emergency alarms on a Northern Line tube scuppered my attempts to catch a low-key Charli XCX performance in the Crawl's media hub. But with plenty of other bands to see over the day, that was only a minor setback. For [...]

This sparkling debut from the future pop duo proves a prolific string of EP releases doesn't always lead to a disappointing full-length.
