Great Dane
This week, I bring 'Son Of A Gun' - imagine new wave pop by a white, cute Scandinavian who sings like Billie Holiday. That would be Oh Land, born Nanna Øland Fabricius in Copenhagen... Years of study to be a classical dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet came crashing down when she fractured a spinal disk...
Devastated, she turned to music as an outlet and alternative, and has won accolades with a very engaging eponymous debut released this month...
Relocated to New York, she's currently touring as supporting act for veterans wavesters Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark...
Watch her tear through 'Son of A Gun' on David Letterman...
Her other single, 'Wolf & I' is more mellow but equally novel and compelling...Here she is live at Brooklyn Bowl..
