Generally, we’re not the biggest fans of electronica, but I’ve been digging some of the more indie sounding stuff that’s been coming out of Scandinavia lately. Danish electro band Tetris = Therapy, which consists of duo Rune Thomsen and Kasper Husted, is only five months old and is still unsigned, but that may soon change. I think Carbon Black of lifeiscarbon put it well when s/he said “the duo's music is an unpredictable blend of everything from noisy shoegaze guitars over a grandiose post-rock sound to electronica and heavy electronic beats.” They draw some of their inspiration from bands like My Bloody Valentine, The Postal Service, Sigur Rós, and Explosions in the Sky– but it’s difficult to pin them down with a “this sounds like ______” characterization because their music is pretty varied. Here’s a clip of a live performance of their song “Foofaraw” from a show they played on March 12th at Voxhall in Aarhus, Denmark. Lifeiscarbon also has a couple downloadable songs of theirs here, and from what I see, their tracks on MySpace only have about 1000 listens on their counters so far– maybe we can bump those number up!
