Currently Listening To: Whales & This Lake

There’s really no shortage of Norwegian bands covered on Indie Music Filter lately.  It’s pretty impressive that for a country of just over 5 million people, they produce some really interesting bands and artists.  Today, I’m putting electro-pop band Whales & This Lake on your radar with the impressive “Sahara Blind”.  The charismatic trio are Hans Olav Settem, Max Peder Brekke and Anders Søvik Hjelden, who are right now working with Canadian producer Digory Smallz (who’s got a pretty good record bringing me great content lately, ie. Austin Basham).

Take a spin.

This video is quite a psychedelic trip, created by Magnus Borka Kloster-Jensen (Borka Productions) and Jonas Lien Svarstad.
