Yet more proof of how Denmark is attempting to conquer the entire world of alternative music; from the noise-rock of Iceage, the alt-country of Kjarten Bue, the indie/guitar-pop sounds of The Rumour Said Fire and the continuing brilliance of veterans The Raveonettes, barely a week goes by of late where we don't find great new music from the country's various scenes. When Saints Go Machine are hardly a new discovery, they've been acclaimed and successful since their debut album in 2009. This week they return with new LP 'Infinity Pool'.
As expected, single 'Iodine' is a top tune that doesn't play by the rules and will leave you struggling for a comparison. The mixture of a prominent beat, the blend of analogue and digital electronics with the strange, treated vocals don't quite fit anywhere. Such individuality is the mark of a good band; call it electro-soul, call it indie/alt-pop, can it what you like; it's a little bit of everything. Where this lot come into their own is that they embrace this approach to making new sounds while keeping them accessible, and this is why they're one of the biggest exports Copenhagen has right now.
