The School - 2008 - Destructive Sounds

Genre: Indie Rock
Label:Kong Tiki Records (NO)
If you like Interpol & Co

Yeah finally I got their last album. Their debut album (find it here) was pretty nice and i am not sure if Destructive Sounds could drop it. I think no, but this depends on personal listening behaviour.
So - we talk about norwegian The School, right? There is another band with the same creative name outside, but I didn't know them... These School Band is solid Indie Rock in vein of Interpol but with a lot more drive. And like Kings of Leon with less Hard Rock influences. Danceable and a bit dark and melodic...

Origami Arktika - 2007 - Trollebotn

Genre: Folk, Weird Folk, Ambient
Label: Silber

If you like Sigur Ros and/or the "exotic" touch of nordic language

A record with norwegian folk songs by the Origami Arktika collective. I know this part of the Origami Collective more as an Ambient/SoundScape/Industrial Project, but on this record they play a kind of folk music. Really haunting and natural and it has nothing to do, with that freaky stuff that you may know from the finish free folk movement or similar. It's all played live with a lot of space and some subtle background noises. Highly recommend!

Norwegian Origami Arktika create a pleasant aural experience, combining almost meditative traditional styled folk music and atmosphere similar to that of Tenhi, Jose Gonzales or Sigur Ros.

Deep Elem - 2006 - Lost In The Woods

Genre: Alt. Country, Folk, Americana
Label: Reveal Records

Deep Elem is a duo from Midlake, UK and playing plain Alt. Country and so called Americana/Folk Music. The most oustanding track "Lost in the Woods" appeared on that "FOLK OFF" Compilation. The tracks on the same titled mini album shows a slightly different direction. Or better their real way. But the ingredients are the same - sparkle acoustic guitar and banjo and the feel of country music in best sense.

5. Pastures Of Plenty
