Danish Skeleton


Okay I know that every other blog hasn't told you to check out Danish quartet Figurines so let me be the first to tell you! Their album Skeleton may have been released near-to-a-year ago in their native country but it's just starting to hit here. The album starts off deceivingly with the track "Race You" which is a slow contemplative piano tune and you're wondering how slow the CD's going to take to get through. Luckily for you, track two "The Wonder" makes you realize they had you fooled and they're one of those jangly pop bands your mother warned you about like The Shout Out Louds. Except they've been listening to some old Pixies albums and the Violent Femmes. Good for them! Mighty fine album and I urge you to look into it.

Ch-ch-check it out kids:
