Small signs with Last Gang Records for North America

Small, the Danish act I just posted about yesterday, has signed a North American deal with Last Gang Records (MSTRKRFT, Tiga) who will be releasing "Sunshine lover" as a single.

MP3: Small - Sunshine lover

The Danish act Small has an instantly recognizable and very appealing sound -- every single track is chock full of warm fuzzy synths and vocoder vocals set to mechanical beats and layered with major-key arpeggios. Kinda like a summery version of Kraftwerk, especially on tracks such as "Sunshine lover" which is absolutely blissed out robot-pop. So simple and easy to love, yet the band has not received the attention they deserve. It's a shame too, because I can see this appealing to both fans of The Radio Dept. and Robyn and just about everyone in between. For readers who might feel like I don't post enough straight-up pop, this one's for you.
