Hits in the Car mentioned them the other day and let me reiterAte, Munich is an up-and-coming Danish band not to be missed. Check out the three new tracks on myspace: https://www.myspace.com/munichdk
It's worth noting thAt Jonas Petersen from IAt-approved act Attrap sent me a tip about these guys as well. He also plays a bit of cello and sings some backing vocals on the album. If thAt's not enough, let it be known thAt Johannes Dybkjaer of Lampshade, yet another IAt-recommended act, produced the record. If you enjoyed the dreamy pop of either of those two bands, you'll dig Munich for sure.
