Epo-555

Danish quartet Epo-555's debut album is a haunting mix of indie rock fueled by synthesizers and the occasional drum machine programming in the vein of mid-'90s Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite and Belle and Sebastian. They craft these soundscapes out of vocalist/guitarist Max Hansen and Camilla Florentz (who also does vocals along with synth duties) breathy lyrics that takes the listener to a different dimension on "Angelina Balerina". Their vocals are nice and complimentary to the music itself, which flows from track to track in a cohesive manner (see tracks such as "L'art Pour La Fart" and "iL Presidente" as an example.) Good stuff, overall.
