Drivan, featuring Kim Hiorthøy
Norwegian artist Kim Hiorthøy has a new band called Drivan that just finished recording an album for release on Smalltown Supersound. The group got together when Kim was asked to create music for a dance performance put on by Swedes Lisa Östberg, Louise Peterhoff and Kristiina Viiala and Kim enjoyed their vocalization so much, they decided to continue the collaboration. All of the lyrics are in Swedish and the music is described as "folky hip-hop loops meet Marine Girls." No official release date yet, but I'll keep you posted.
