Product Description
Product Description
2011 album from one of the most talked about new artists. The album is a mix of lavish loops and layered vocals that pound through on songs like the album's first single 'Sun of a Gun'. The jungle drumming electro-pop of songs like 'White Nights' evokes a quest to find peace and a sense of home in the chaos of a city that never sleeps. The speaker-panning samples and honeyed hooks of Dan Carey (The Kills, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip) and Dave McCracken (Depeche Mode, Beyonc‚, AFI) along with Oh Land have created an album of rich harmonies, beautiful symphonic arrangements over the enchanting voice of Oh Land.

I purchased this CD while on vacation in Florida earlier this year. I had seen a few of her videos on Youtube, and really liked her songs. Even though she is now based in New York, she still has that Scandinavian sound. There's something about Scandinavian artists/bands that's truly unique and magical. The sad part for us in North America, is that it's sometimes difficult to find their work in our local stores, and that it what I love about Amazon.
Anyway, pls try out Oh Land's CD is you want to listen to intelligent Pop music...yes it does exist :)
Favorites include Human, White Nights, Voodoo, Perfection and Break the Chain.

Purchased this album on a whim to find some new music with female vocals. I checked out 4 of the songs on Youtube before investing in the purchase and was not disappointed by the rest of the album. Great mix of catchy pop and mellow solid songs. Really enjoy the album from start to finish.

These dreams under my pillow...

Welcome to a new sound. I first heard this band over a year ago on a blog and I was blown away. To say I've been waiting for this is a bit of an underestimate. Oh Land is female Nanna Øland Fabricius. I think I once read that her instruments were all hand made and she recorded some demos in her bedroom- she's THAT good. Her sound is whimsical meets electronica with a little bit of mystery mixed in. My favorite track on the album is definitely White Nights.

Her voice is just totally unique...and this album ROCKS. If you enjoy Regina Spektor or Shivaree (look her up too) then you will be equally amazed at Oh Land. My favorite tracks are White Nights, Rainbow, Perfection, and Sun of a Gun. Do yourself a favor. If you're bored of the same old sound on the radio listen to these tracks and sit back. Totally different sound!

Amazing Album!

Amazing album! So talented, and you hear it with every song. Her voice is so beautiful, it flows so well. Before you know it, the CD is over!
My favorite songs are:
Voodoo
Human
White Nights
She does remind me of Florence + The Machine. But, her voice is her's, not at all like Florence. Can't wait for another album.

Pop music I don't feel guilty listening to... at all

If you only give Oh Land a passing glance, you may be tempted to label her as just another up-and-coming blonde-bombshell pop diva. Although your assessment does not entirely miss the mark (she is a blonde bombshell afterall), her style is much more akin to Bjork or Beth Gibbons (or maybe even Regina Spektor) than the more stereotypical pop acts like Katy Perry or [insert other shameless sellout here]. There is a rich depth and maturity to her sound that can pique the interest of even the most seasoned musician... but the catchy beats will also ensure that her stuff ends up on playlists at dance parties everywhere. If Oh Land is indicative of where mainstream pop is headed, the future looks bright indeed.
