Epo 555 - Mafia (New Artist Sample)


Denmark has been busy of late, thrusting itself into the limelight with the likes of Mew. New to emerge from the Danish lands are Epo 555. The sophomore follow up to 2004 Dexter Fox is a titillating listen from start to end, proving that Denmark are truly coming of age musically. Possibly one of the best records to grace my ears this year, and has catapulted this unknown band into the book of new favorites and want to hear more category. The album touts many great tracks, 'Hyperschlieb', 'Harry Mambourg' and 'Maid In China' are the cream of the crop found here. Although there is slight room for improvement, it's not much, and this album is going to be rewarded with full marks all around from this end. We hope to see Epo 555 bringing some of this Danish bliss to this side of the pond, and I hope they don't stay away as long as country mates Mew have. Many thanks to Natalie @ Two Sheps That Pass for allowing me to write something about them, as well as the music.
