Under Byen on KEXP

The excellent KEXP Blog does a nice write-up of Under Byen on occasion of their live session for the station:

If you’re a fan of Sigur Ros, Bjork, the experimental side of Radiohead, the meditative hypnosis of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and the moodiness of Portishead you need to see Under Byen. Seattleites have the fortunate opportunity to check out this Danish band open for the Album Leaf Tuesday night at Neumo’s (rounding out this killer bill is Arthur & Yu).

After obsessing the good part of a year over the majestic beauty of their third album (first North America release) Samme Stof Som Stof, I witnessed their splendor firsthand when they performed for KEXP during our March SXSW broadcast. The experimental electronic rock collective exceeded expectations creating deeply emotional soundscapes at times delicate and introspective, at times bombastic and mind numbing.
