scandinavians will save us all

I don’t get how the Euro’s are doing it, but it’s getting to the point where I’m not really bothering to listen to music if it didn’t come from a country where they eat a lot of smoked fish.

Alphabeat are makers of such music. There are pretty much a billion ways I could describe them, so I’m just going to mention the most fun ones:

A Scandinavian S Club 7 with Cyndi Lauper meets George Micheal vocals? Sure.

The Thrills - but from Denmark instead of Ireland and obsessed with New Wave instead of Surf Rock? Yep, that one’s good.

Infectiously-sugar-coated, eighties-pop-tinged, happy-music from the land of modernist teak furniture? That pretty much sums it up, actually.

They also have a pretty cool typographic motif going on, not to mention the cute outfit factor (them being Dansk and all, it’s pretty high).

I dare you to watch this video and not get into a cheery mood.
