Denmark is the New Sweden, Canada still Canada

Not too long ago, I came across this band from Denmark called UTAH. Pretty epic stuff. I imagine some people may hear some of these songs and shout Radiohead ripoff, but I think there's a lot more them than just that. The soaring vocals and dramatic quiet loud quiet thing is there, but the songs seem to have a bit more cohesiveness than your average OK Computer clone. I like them a lot, have been listening to the tracks I got of Garage Band a whole bunch over the last couple weeks.

Here are a couple tracks below. Doesn't look like there are any plans to come back here yet, but hopefully soon. I was surprised to see that they played Sin-e in New York, as well as a few other cities in the states not too long ago.

UTAH - DDA (mp3)
UTAH - Alien Battle (mp3)

My other obsession of the time being is Toronto's Tokyo Police Club, who, despite me only hearing three songs of theirs and being out of town when they recently came to New York, seem poised to become the band to watch. I can't tell you why, except the right people seem to be talking about them already and catchy, quirky bands that sound like a lot of things without coming off as derivative seems to be the perfect formula these days. They've been my default answer for whenever somebody hears that I write a music blog and asks me what the next big thing is gonna be for a few weeks now. (pic via BV)

Hopefully they come back to NYC soon too. Here are some songs. Nature of the Experiment is my Myspace profile song.

Tokyo Police Club - The Nature of the Experiment (mp3)
Tokyo Police Club - Cheer in On (mp3)
