The Sound of Arrows

It's Sunday morning, sunny, and I have not a thing that needs to be done... (well, nothing urgent). Sitting here and going through my music news and discovered a pretty great Swedish pop song. A fun way to start the day. The band is The Sound of Arrows and they have a kind of early Erasure sound, which is a big compliment in my book.

Gävle, Sweden (2006 – present)

The Sound of Arrows are a Swedish indie pop band. Originally formed 2006 in Gävle by Oskar Gullstrandand Stefan Storm the band moved to Stockholm. Stefan Storm had earlier been making house music while the other half of the duo, Oskar Gullstrand, used to play in an orchestra but is now working as a graphic designer and an animator. Their original intention was to record a song or two. But that changed once their first song ‘Narrow Escape’ garnered some appreciation. In 2008 they were signed to Swedish indie label Labrador Records. (from Last.FM)

The video is a little ridiculous, but worth it.
