Swedens long been seen as a leading output in European pop music but if you look a little deeper then you'll find its equally rooted in the dark and obscure. Its the latest offering comes in the shape of NONN - a brand new post-punk/coldwave project with this debut album. Born out of a cold, desolate winter in a corner of Stockholm, NONNs icy surroundings inevitably became a huge influence on these recordings - blurring the line between sharp, glacial post-punk and the industrial electronic sounds of the 80s. The tracks are influenced as much by Kraftwerk, Movement-era New Order and Suicide as they are akin to modern outfits such as label-mates The Underground Youth and Throw Down Bones |
