Over the weekend, I got a really nice tip about a Danish band, The Boombox Hearts [Facebook]. The quintet describe themselves as “melancholic indie pop” with a penchant for nostalgic 60s fare, which isn’t a pretty odd combination, so long as you don’t expect to hear Owl City or another twee-pop act.
Two members of the group played together in the uber-rad Oliver North Boy Choir and we managed to get a demo of their latest song, “Everything,” (plus a few more) which you can check out “after the jump”
These guys are really great, marking the only band that actually got me to download a track from an email onto my iPhone. The band are hoping to record an EP later this summer (July or August), so we will keep you all posted.

Arne Matzen (drums, percussion)
