Marching Band‘s music is perfect today. Their easy-going, uplifting indie pop is fighting away the winter cold, steadily marching forward with the two drum majors Erik Sunbring and Jacob Lind in the front.

I’m listening to their first full length album “Spark Large”, which was released last year. At first I came to think about Belle and Sebastian, with the lightness and playfulness in the music. But here I meet more layered arrangements, full of beautiful vocal harmonies and quite a few nice surprises.

Several of the songs from the album have found their way into american movies and TV shows, among them “Feel Good About It”, which could be heard in the movie “Zombieland” this autumn.

You can find Marching Band on their site and if you’d like to listen to more songs you should visit Marching Band’s Myspace page. Here are a couple of tracks from “Spark Large”:
