Niki & The DoveThe Fox [EP]
Sub Pop Records [2011]
Fire Note Says: Swedish duo Niki & The Dove release a well rounded 3 song EP that showcases their talents.
Album Review:
Niki & The Dove are a duo from Stokholm, Sweeden that have created a very intriguing 3 song art pop offering on their Sub Pop label debut The Fox EP. The group has a very Bat For Lashes / Fever Ray sound as the tracks are driven by the commanding siren vocals of Malin Dahlström and propelled by her multi-layered vocals, drums and synthesizers. "The Fox" single capitalizes on all of these components and is very complex as "Gentle Roar" is based on an undertone of tribal rhythms that has a very dark groove. The last track is a live version of "Somebody" that features a pulsing drum machine and once again shows another side of Niki & The Dove as it is the most poppy sounding track on the EP. The Fox shows real potential for what should be a stellar full length due to hit the shelves later this year or early 2012.
