Artist: When Saints Go Machine
Album: Konkylie
Label: !K7
Genre: Electropop, pop
Comments: An excellent, synth-laden pop debut LP from Denmark's When Saints Go Machine. On Konkylie (Danish for "conch shell"), the band sounds like a more electronic version of Wild Beasts--not least for frontman Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild's falsetto vocals, which bring to mind Hayden Thorpe and have also been compared to Antony Hegarty and Talk Talk's Mark Hollis. Surrounding Vonsild's voice is a wonderful tableau of breezy electropop, which provides subtle reminders of Empire of the Sun or early Phoenix, but with a noticeably Scandinavian flair.
Highly recommended; start with "Church and Law", "Kelly", "Parix" and "Chestnut".
