ON FIRE: NICE MONOCLE REVIEW

"Joakim Haugland`s in-case-you-missed-em round-up of acts from the reliably surprising Norwegian label throws a hearish, lumberjack arm around a wide array of high-jinks and bliss. Lindstrøm and Diskjokke hustle for dancefloor attention while Arp`s Eno-ish euphorics and Meanderthals` Lemon Jelly-moulded relaxo-pop calm the fjord. Smalltown Supersound is ablaze" (Monocle Magazine)
