An amazing track from Denmark
OK, 2010 is now officially half over. The holidays will be here before we know it. And then we’ll ring-in 2011. Can you believe it? Me either. And I’ve not done a bang-up job this year of blogging, largely due to an insane schedule; I’m lucky I’m keeping-up with my writing for DJ Times magazine, let alone this blog. But let’s just say July 1 is the new year, and I’m making a resolution. Humor me.
To start (back) off, I’m going to introduce you to an amazing new track out of Denmark, from the group Infernal—Lina Rafn and Paw Lagermann. While they debuted in 1997, their name and music are both new to me. But what a way to make a first impression, with the track, Love is All.
I’m a sucker for great lyrics, and Love is All has amazing lyrics. I especially like the unusual rhythmic patterns in the lyrics, but what they have to say I like even more. Nicely done.
The video that accompanies the song is another matter. It’s well made, well produced, and has some nice effects. But it’s completely incongruous, at least to me. Watch it and see what you think:
Video issues aside, this is just an incredible track that you can expect to continue to hear in my sets for awhile to come.
