The name A-Ha looms large over Norway's music as Abba does for Sweden. Abba were genius. A-Ha had a dead good video. Norway's modern music heros, Erlend Oye and Sondre Lerche don't look set to upturn A-Ha's cross-hatched apple cart any time soon. And maybe not with Nils Bech either, but at least he has the frickin hair! With a baritone that sounds seductively schooled, a scrap book of musical styles and a real zeal for performance he's the type of artist you stumble across at a festival, go "wtf?" and within 2 songs is your new favourite band. Handsome too. Always helps.
