If you are a fan of Mum I urge you to check out this Danish 8-piece. Under Byen recently came out with a new album through Paper Bag Records titled Samme Stof Som Stof.

sorry for the multitude of posts all at once...i just don't want to forget anything good. this band, under byen, is from denmark. the only way i can really describe their sound is an experimental/ambient feel that borders on the likes of sigur ros, bjork, and the album leaf - although that is really not a good description; under byen has a different sound from all of these. like sigur ros, they do

I just uploaded a major feature on the SOPA site from our latest label night. Some really great blackn'n'white photographs by Steffen "Jint" Jørgensen and a lot of live videoes from all the different performances. Yeah, spoken word, nursery rhymes, old school dirty rock'n'roll, feedback noise with drum machine mayhem and believe it or not... some kind of acid house.It's all along this way...ww..

Track:
First there was my early fascination with Bjork. Then there was the discovery of the lush land and spacescapes of Sigur Ros. Then the melodic abstraction of Efterklang. Followed by the spiraling psychadelia of Dungen,the caramel sweet pop of Peter Bjorn and John, and the childlike, nostalgia drenched musings of Loney, Dear. And now there is Under Byen. I want to know what is in the water in tho...

It seems to capture a certain sound that kee...
