copenhagen is the new music epicenter




2 tracks that we here at long weekend style are lovin' right now . . .


first up, from the CD, the last resort, comes "moan" from copenhagen artist, trentemoller (nope, not a typo, it's one word. we did check this. it's actually anders trentemoller although we don't have the cute little mark that goes through the "o" making it look waaaaay more international, citizen of the world).



the song gets deep under your skin with a hypnotic synth groove and ambient dreamy vocals by ane trolle:

and if you are feeling especially emotionally resistant today, you can watch the video - a sad ode to laika, the cute little dog the russians sent up into space in '57. it is sad, so be prepared, especially you animal lovers. and it's also little cheesy because, well, you'll see why.


the other track that we're feelin' around the long weekend style office is "the one you left behind" by the also-from-copenhagen duo, asger baden and peter leth who make up the crooked spoke. a dreamy dark, haunting song that has dramatic, drawn out leonard cohen-like vocals. this one really hits it out of the park creating a lazy, woozy atmosphere that you can easily get lost in. have a listen here: www.last.fm/music/The+Crooked+Spoke/_/The+One+You+Left+Behind+%28Klovn+Edit%29?autostart

long weekend style, over and out from copenhagen, denmark.
