Fever Ray - Seven

I remember I listened to Fever Ray a long time ago, but I didn't give her too much attention back then. I recently heard that `If I had a heart` was the main titles soundtrack for the Vikings series on TV. So I decided to give it a second chance and I am glad I did. Interesting vocals, although the effect on the vocals might become slightly annoying from time to time, very nice sound, unique. The last video is the full album (Seven 2009).

The Social Network

Coming up with a full flavor of Nine Inch Nails in it, here comes The Social Network soundtrack. The full album has about 19 songs in it, here is a best of:

Exitmusic & Active Child

Although some time has passed since I last wrote a blog post, I assure you there still is good music being sung out there now. I recently stumbled upon some live sessions from KEXP Radio. Here are a couple of interesting bands, Exitmusic and Active Child.

Exitmusic definitely has a good combination of unique, ghostly vocals, backed-up and completed by a good band. I like all of their songs from this live performance and I'm certainly going to "dig" them up; I would like to hear them in a concert.
On the other hand, Active Child has only one song that really impresses me: "Hanging on". This song really haunted me for several days - the first day I heard it I listened to it about 20 times. The harp and the strange voice go along and easily become an obsession. I listened to the rest of their album, but no other song managed to impress me as much as "Hanging on" did.
