Artist: Oh No Ono

Album: Eggs

Label: Friendly Fire

Genre: Pop, Experimental Pop

Comments: "Oh No Ono is a Danish experimental pop quartet whose intricate and other-worldly music defies conventions and expectations. The ten dense, hypertextured sour-sweet-sad opuses found on their US debut album Eggs, are truly breathtaking to behold; the band creates bewitching pop symphonies that unfold themselves more with each successive listen. Eggs' vivacious, even lusty approach to songcraft is the trademark of a band determined to approach pop music via the hard road, without ever losing track of the fact that they are creating pop music."

I loved "Helplessly Young" (which reminds me of Santogold), the slower shimmery "The Wave Ballet" and the crazy pop falsettos on "The Tea Party." Check the album out if you like Animal Collective, Octopus Project, or Apples in Stereo.
