Tomorrow We Move to Hawaii - Still Life

Tomorrow We Move to Hawaii is an Oslo-based chillwave electro duo, composed of Eyvind Brox and Marianne Stranger, that has caught our attention recently. Though they’ve been making music for a couple of years in Europe, they’re relatively unknown to us here in the Western hemisphere. Austin-based label Red Eye Transit is trying to change that; they released the band’s debut EP Still Life last month, and if you dig bands similar to The Knife, you’ll dig it. Listen to the title track, “Still Life,” below.

We’re currently obssessing over Norwegian songstress Maya Vik after reading about her on Scandinavian-obssessed blog Ja Ja Ja earlier today. Vik isn’t exactly a newcomer to the scene, having been part of pop group Montée prior to parting them to start her solo career. She released her debut album Bummer Gun at the end of last year via Oslo Records, and has just unveiled the video for her new single, also titled “Bummer Gun.” We’re loving the black and white video, directed by Pål Laukli, pairing with the Billy Jean-influenced beats, and we’re sure you will as well. Also check out the equally awesome “On It (Kapow!),” released previously. Both embedded below for your aural pleasures.
