Under the Radar: The Sound of Arrows
The Sound of Arrows continues the trend that amazing music comes from Sweden.
The synthpop duo have released 2 EPs since 2008, but it's the epic video for their 2009 single "Magic" that has put them on a lot of music nerds radars. Even though the single is 2 years old, the video has prompted a re-release of the song.
In addition to their own music, they've also proved their musical chops by remixing for The Naked and Famous, Natalia Kills and Lady Gaga.
The video for "Magic", which is more like a mini-movie, finds two siblings waking up to a world where everyone has seemingly disappeared. This leads to the two doing anything unattended kids would do, while also referencing The Lord of the Flies, Where The Wild Things Are and Pan's Labyrinth. Yeah, it's amazing.
