I have a lot of music on my list waiting to be presented here, so I’ll try to gather some speed before the year is over. Next artist calls himself The Key Key, but his real name is  Jakob Stenseke. He’s been working as a musician in quite a different genre, where he wasn’t completely comfortable, so he quit to devote himself to his own music.

The debut album is called “Order, Disorder & Chaos” which he describes as “Synth/guitar/horns-indie pop influenced by everything from Death Cab For Cuties cozy melodies, tougher Arcade Fire heart breaks to LCD Soundsystems’ self insight irony.” A good pop album, with some really catchy tunes which sticks in my mind fast. Sometimes the sound changes a little too much between songs, which makes the album feel like it’s sprawling too much. I’d say it’s an album to enjoy by picking the goodies from it rather than listen from start to end repeatedly.
