Free EP from promising Danish band
I can’t say I’m that into the Danish music scene really. Never liked Mew, and I’ve heard a couple of Danish indie bands, but they’ve usually just struck me as pretty average.
The Devil Probably, however, grabbed my attention. It’s minimalistic pop with a pinch of shoegaze. Catchy indie pop that fades into heavy guitar droning and then gracefully back again. Seriously, it’s great. I want to hear more of this.
If I were to describe their sound, I’d say it’s like Windmill had teamed up with Why? and had Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes sing. Insane, but that’s about what it sounds like.
Or if you prefer the band’s own words:
The Devil Probably sings about nicotine-psyched TV-sets, woman-swallowing wallpaper, angels with dirty humming faces, fat sucking vampires, beehive-masks, swamp things, piss-smelling wrists, stuff like that. Enjoy.
Also, they’re apparently named after a French movie from the 70s, but other than that I don’t really know to much about them. Judging from the number of views on their myspace, I guess they’re pretty unknown for now. I think this is a band you should keep an eye on though. I know I will.
Anyways, they have a nice, free 4-track EP (wow, that rhymed) out now. There’s not much more to say than that you should head on over to thedevilprobably.bandcamp.com and download it.
Oh, and don’t get me wrong about Danish music in general. I’m sure there’s a lot of other great Danish bands, I just haven’t been digging that much for it. If you know of something I might like, why don’t you drop a note to hello@birdssometimesdance.com
