anything special, or just some more of that scandanavian
childreny thing? i saw they are opening for múm near where
i live, and it may be the determining factor.

i hear he's quite good, but can't speak for him
personally... he does a lot of work with the Rune Gramofon
label which is a really cool label...

Melve was a decent album... Hip hop beats with this odd
sounding strange nostalgic melodies. Sometimes a bit dancy.
Seems very 'folk-like'...

buy "Hei".. . though what Ive heard from that is amazing.

ive recently been getting into supersilent, tape, and
skyphone. i think scandanavia brings a certain meloncholy
brand of pop and/or electronic music that i dont think can
be found anywhere else. from bjork and sigur ros to abba
and the cardigans, its such simple sad innocent sorta
noises. a specific pop sensibility that even esists outside
of 'pop'. i guess its hard to explain. especially
interesting considering its a lot of vikings ;) but if
anyone has any other scandanvian suggestiongs toss them my
way...

I have one track by him on a Wire Tapper CD and he did a
brilliant remix of a Jaga Jazzist tune on their Animal Chin
EP.

Kim Hiortøy is a Norwegian multi-artist releasing his music
on Smalltown Supersound. He makes naive, melodic music with
lots of analogue "effects" and is kinda easy to recognize,
when you've heard a couple of tracks. Until now he has
released only one "real" album called Hei. His second album,
"Melke" contained mostly b-sides, rarities and remixes
(check out remixes of Jaga Jazzist and Merzbow). This year
he is releasing no less than three mini-albums called
"Hopeness" (good, sounds like his earlier stuff), "For the
ladies" (ambient, heard bad rumours about this one) and
"Live Shet" (which beter be good).
Some live dates:
14th May, Tou, Stavanger
Jun 23 Boston, MA Museum of Fine Arts (Calderwood
Courtyard)(with Mum)
Jun 24 Montreal, QC Cabaret Music Hall (with Mum)
Jun 25 Toronto, ON Horseshoe Tavern (with Mum)
Jun 26 Chicago, IL Logan Square Auditorium (with Mum)
Jun 28 Lawrence, KS Bottleneck (with Mum)
Jun 29 Denver, CO Bluebird Theater (with Mum)
10th-14th. August, Øya Festivalen, Oslo, Norway

See him live if you can. I will do it at Øya.

Oh. And if you use the search function, you will find links
to some of his picture-art, which is no less than brilliant.
