Wintergatan...please check this out!

This is the strangest, most interesting band I've ever seen. There are 2 videos from them, the 2nd being an incredibly catchy and eerie melody. Discuss.

Very creative, like it alot! I liked the other song more though. Reminds me of another swedish group that do a similar thing but i can't remember their name, i don't think they play together anymore.

I like the other song better too, but I liked the first video because it shows that they actually make the music for the music box.

I like this a lot. It's like someone challenged a band to make music only using the contents of a storage area full of keyboards and percussion instruments and some odds and ends. Really creative music.

I found them, they were called Detektivbyrån but they do not exist anymore instead some members from Detektivbyrån decided to start a new project which is infact Vintergatan.

Listening now. I have to say I like Vintergatan better.
Okay, just got to the last half of the song...what the hell is that thing he's playing? And why doesn't JR have one?
Awesome!!!

I know...haunting stuff. The ability to make catchy melodies must be from something in the water over there...Tallest Man on Earth, Moon Safari, these guys...the Swedes are on the top of my charts these days, that's for sure!

The music is already nice on its own, but that was amazing!

I really liked the bit starting in 3:17 - the tempo is perfectly kept.

I also watched the short "Making Of" video posted last week. Wow!

Was listening to their album on Spotify while going to work today. Their music puts me in a good mood. Anyway their song Paradise came on, beautiful melodies and everything but the end made me check am I listening to the same band.  :lol Such a creative group of musicians.
