Apparently this is what happens when one kid grows up listening to hip-hop like The Pharcyde and the other is into Death Cab For Cutie—you end up creating cinematic synth-pop that tugs at the on the ponytail of nostalgia like Tears For Fears ' finest. Behold "Brother" from Stockholm-based musicmakers Cape Lion, released hot on the heels of last year's sparkly 80s-dazzled cuts"Jennie and "You Kept Dreaming."Above you can watch the handsome duo—made up of Carl-Johan Sevedag and Martin Wiklund—perform "Brother." They do so impeccably. In an attic. Sidenote: Please don't leave those boys in that attic to get dusty. Or stream the track below. Whatever's in the water up in Sweden, it's working. I might start an import business delivering Scandi-H2O to aspirant musicians nationwide. Will keep you posted.
Kim used to live in an attic in Holland. Now she lives on Twitter - @theKTB
