Satellite radio station Sirius has announced the addition of a new channel called "Nordic Rox" that, much like this website, will be devoted entirely to Scandinavian music. Sadly, the station will be programed with the assistance of Per Gessle and not yours truly, but it's okay. I'm not bitter.

For many folks, Audrey's new album "Visible forms" is one of 2006's most anticipated releases. The post-rock act's debut EP impressed a lot of people, myself included. I still haven't heard the whole thing (copies for the mailorder are on the way and should be here next week), but what I have heard is just as brilliant as I'd hoped for. Brooding, dark and beautiful; these are the key-words. Their skill-level has improved considerably too, as the string arrangements are much more involved and more compelling. I think they're working better as an ensemble as well, proof positive that touring can make a band. So check out this first little taste of the record that their label Tenderversion was kind enough to pass on and get excited for the album's release on may 9.

Now in-stock: a new split 7" featuring melancholy Danish acts Pluto and munck//Johnson, each with an exclusive cut: m/store.php?item=196">[click here]
