Niki & The Dove Appreciation Thread (also AWARENESS THREAD!)

okay....so Niki & The Dove are a duo that originate from Sweden.

They have been playlisted on BBC Radio 1 on minimal airplay but came at number 5 on the SOund Of...2012 poll recently.

The members are Malin Dahlström (vocals) Gustaf Karlöf (keyboards).

They are criminally underrated and the past few days given their stuff a listen...their debut album Instincts is out in two days!

And it has to be said their song DJ, Ease My Mind is one of my favourite songs this year.

Immediate thoughts Bjork meets florence meets bjork bypasses lyke li on the way to empire of the sun after a breif affair with Abba and Ladyhawke interesting if nothing new

Tbh i really love how Pop their sound is....i love them hope they make it big.

And nothing new means...working to make it like the best because at the end of the day....everything has been done before.

But there is so much cool with this group!

I do i love that juxtaposition of indie and pop which i love in Ladyhawke, Empire Of The Sun there is a huge sense of fun energy and creativity from them which i like but i would wait to see more as not nothing new thats not fair more one in a long line of recent purveyors of extrovert pop and arty-ness

And if i have noted any similarities with which others and yourself agree with i should see no probs with them gathering a following and success plus pop fans will not feel alienated by them either so they will do fine especially with a lead like Nicki

their album sounds truly like the "Lungs/Pala of 2012" for me! Heard snippets of all the songs....truly truly sounds epic.

And yeah i feel if they branch out they will access the Pop areas of music markets definitely....love their visuals in their videos too....very 80s Synthpop/90s Electronica meets FOlky/Tribal rhythms totally.

It Reminds me more of LH with mixtures of europop its a really odd combo i like a few of their songs and will wait to see where they go.

I quite like them. Two of their songs have been available for free as iTunes singles of the week. That's how I found out about them. I'll definitely check out the album.

album arrived today....will give an overview later.....but damn it is magic....gossips album arrived too so will blast both

What a great end of week treat.

I can safetly say Instinct will become a favourite!

well by multi-tasking A Joyful Nosie (gossip) and Instinct (Niki & The Dove) they are both favourites definitely!

I love the scope Instinct as an album has...so very SONIC....but very tribal...like a fusion of 80s Synthpop/Kate Bush style surreal beauty, Bjork landscapes, Florence & The Machine Neo-Folk!.....its a beautiful album!
