Denmark's Lake Placid will be contributing their version of the song "Everything counts" to an upcoming all-Danish Depeche Mode tribute to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the first DM single being released in Denmark. Other bands on the comp include Sterling, Moi Caprice, Tiger Baby, Jet (aka Dub Tractor), Track 72 (aka Tue Track), The Figurines and Diefenbach a.o.. It comes out February 27.
I've never heard of Sterling before (pardon my ignorance), but judging from these 6 tracks, they might sport beards, and they're definitely Danish (or very wacky non-Danish people). This reminds me a lot of The Shins and the first stand-out track ("Ubesvarat Opkald") almost sounds like a The Shins cover, but sung in Danish (all of these songs are sung in Danish, fortunately it sounds ok). Now and then Sterling come across as a bit dated ("Koldbrand" sounds like some dodgy ballad from the 80s, and "Vinterfobi" has some quite tedious vocoder parts), but in general this EP is a bit above average, thanks to the first song.
