My second favourite band to hail from Denmark (after the amazing Mew), The Kissaway Trail are gearing up to release their second full length album, The Sleep Mountain. I first introduced the collective back in 2007, and their debut album was definately a firm favourite of mine.
The press release puts it eloquently:
With Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, The Twilight Sad) producing, “Sleep Mountain” reveals how The Kissaway Trail have grown. Combining the urgency and dynamics of bands as diverse as Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips with the sensitivity of “Another Green World”-period Eno, and melodies that have the stamp of bona fide singer-songwriters, “Sleep Mountain” is a contemporary, timeless, vulnerable rock classic.
Either way, this is a pretty impressive 6 minute return to form for the Danes. Take a listen, and then possibly catch them at the Lexington in London on 5th December.
