NoNoNo – We Are Only What We Feel

I’ve patiently waited for NoNoNo’s debut, We Are Only What We Feel. Mainly because I wanted to see what the collaboration between production duo Astma and Rocwell and singer Stina Wäppling would come up with. The Swedish trio’s Urban-Indie, beat-oriented sound is a synthy production that layers delicate vocals over an atmospheric electro pop foundation. My overall fav, “Pumpin Blood” is the most anthemic tune on here. However, there are a few other gems nestled in between, such as “Echo,” “Like The Wind,” and “Fire Without a Flame.” – NIN  

Music Monday: NONONO and TCGO1974

Warner Bros. Records has two new artist you’ll want to know more about. The first is NONONO – a threesome from Sweden featuring Stina Wappling (vocals) and the production duo of Astma & Rocwell. Their debut single “Pumpin’Blood” is incredibly catchy and will have chomping at the bit for their debut. 

 

 The Chain Gang of 1974 released its debut in 2011. Though not entirely new to the scene, genre-jumping singer/multi-instrumentalist Kamtin Mohager is hoping to expand his reach. If the rest of TCGO1974’s upcoming sophomore album (due out 2014) continues with the vibe of “Miko” he just might achieve that goal. – NIN
