Debut album out May 14th. You can pre-order now (on iTunes).

Niki & The Dove" is the upcoming debut studio album from Swedish electronic duo Niki & The Dove. On January 2 they were named fifth on the Sound of 2012 ranking that each year generates BBC. Their eponymous debut will be released on iTunes on May 14th via Sub Pop Records preceded by the singles: "DJ, Ease My Mind", "The Fox" and "The Drummer".

"Under the Bridges"
"Last Night"
"Somebody"

Only two new songs on it, mind. It's more like a greatest hits! But - it will be great to have an actual CD of it all!

They're kind of like Kate Bush meets ABBA. I'm liking it! Their humility in that BBC clip is charming, too.

Album sampler (includes new song Love To The Test).

Under The Bridges is really teutonic in new version - sounds industrial at the start!

They've also posted a video from a mixtape they've done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6MTyzXz ... DTWypFd7Y=

Annoyed that the deluxe is not on CD (though the songs aren't that special from the iTunes previews). Massively annoyed that Under The Bridges 2012 is so short - what happened to the extended dance jam at the end?? Now i'm gonna have to hunt down that hard to find original 12". I was hoping i wouldn't have to. :-?

It's 8 quid in HMV, BTW - instore as well as online.

In Our Eyes - the 80's Ladyhawke meets Olivia Newton-John synth pop love-in is iTunes FREE Single Of The Week. Seems Tomorrow is not a single now - just an album track. I think it's the worst thing on it.

Love To The Test is gorgeous love-smitten pop that is like Madonna meets Vangelis.

I already know the rest of the album so i can't really do a fresh review. And i'm not sure if it all gels or if it even belongs in this forum. It's like a big pop album with occasional art-synth diversions. People who are expecting The Knife or Bat For Lashes might well be a bit bemused. But Robyn and Ladyhawke lovers will find lots to enjoy.
I Love You, Richard Parker!

Sadly not top 40 in the midweeks. My copy arrived yesterday, enjoying it so far. Looking forward to seeing them live on Monday!
