Artist in the Wings - Those Dancing Days

Thursday October 9, 2008

This indie girl group is the latest hot musical export from Sweden. They released a 5 track self-titled EP last year and the first full-length album In Our Space Hero Suits is due later this month in the UK on Wichita Recordings.

In terms of sound, think perhaps a girl group who are close cousins to the Ting Tings. Or for those whose musical awareness goes back a few decades, Spin magazine described the group as Blondie backed by Elvis Costello's the Attractions. However you describe Those Dancing Days, let's hope UK success is around the corner, and we will soon see them making a trans-Atlantic trek. Watch the video for the group's current single "Home Sweet Home" and listen to a seriously hot cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic."

Watch "Home Sweet Home."

Listen to "Toxic."
