Scandanavian Music Thread: Please post your favorites and discoveries here

So, I've been watching -- for the 2nd time -- this Danish detective series titled "The Killing" on BBC 4 these past several weeks and I was reminded of all kinds of fantastic Scandanavian music, especially electronica.


I don't know many artists -- aside from the usual Bjork, Arvo Paart, etc -- so I would love to hear from those who have recommendations.


Tak!


P.S.  Here's the theme from "The Killing," which has a fantastic groove...

Hey Translator,


I just can't help it but I have to point out one common misconception in your post: Björk, as any other Icelander, is not Scandinavian.


If you would be interested in not only Scandinavian, but also other Nordic music, then there is a bunch of fantastic stuff to discover in the Icelandic music scene, a few electronica goodies: 


FM Belfast:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYc0qjAhWoM


Here is one they do with Kasper Bjørke:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1PfzirjQ40&feature=related


You might know Apparat Organ Quartet:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk9QBsUOFB0&feature=related


and perhaps also Gus Gus:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBbF74JnKhI


An old classic (no longer active unfortunately), Trabant:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C9aVJYVtSQ


 


And there’s a lot of brilliant stuff in the Rock, Indie and Pop scenes, to name a few of the very best: Kimono, Seabear, Sing Fang Bous, Dikta, Retro Stefson, Kira Kira, Mugison, Reykjavík!, Jan Mayen, Sudden Weather Change, Isidor, Lada Sport, Dr. Spock, HAM, Lay Low, Benny Crespo’s Gang, Emiliana Torrini, Jagúar, Megas, Retrön, Skátar (I might be a bit biased on that one) and many many more. Check it out and enjoy!  Laughing
