As a music lover who admires Poets of the Fall, saw The Rasmus live once in a lifetime, feels taken away by the voice of Marit Larsen every time and also a keen listener of the old Lukas Kasha which disbanded a few years back, I must admit that various bands from Scandinavian region continue to give chills to their audience with their fascinatingly innate talent into making quality music. Now it's time for me to introduce yet another band from the same area, namely incredible Artificial Brothers, an alternative rock band from Denmark.
Having released their first album "Make Our Hearts Sway" in 2012, one can easily be mistaken to think they are a brand new band. However, to the prudent music fan it becomes clear that Artificial Brothers have been making noise since 2009. I had the chance to listen to their music through their Soundcloud feed and the keywords by the help of which I am going to describe my feelings turned out to be sorrow, loneliness, grief and maybe darkness as well.
Their Facebook page actually includes a very precise definition of what kind of music they make. The words are delicately chosen, and they actually reflect the band better than a mirror would, in my view.
"Artificial Brothers moves around in a dark universe with boundary pushing and alluring spaces that consistently reflects on the darker and brighter sides of life. The music is incorporated into a world of vibrant energy and intensity where everything is painted in melancholy. The dark and gloomy musical moods range from minimalistic and sparse arrangements to magnificent and brash rock herds."
These dark images truly symbolize the atmosphere present in most of their songs. And here is my pick among them, "Blindfold the Sun":
For the ones who wish to meet the band members (Mathias Bertelsen, Anders Brogaard, Anders Hvass, Stig Sylvest and Lars Hvelplund), here is a video that the brothers performed live for BalconyTV:
Having taken part in Spot Festival in Denmark about 2 months ago, they are based in Copenhagen with presence in various social media sites. Feel free to support their work.
