Lovely, no? Now, I’m not necessarily a believer in open relationships. But in this case I will made a definite exception. Because when you find something so sweet, how can you not share it with everyone? The ladies have a tender, jubilant sound. Intimate, accessible and with just the right amount of haunted. They remind me a little of Feist, which is never a bad thing. Also, heavens, are these two ladies pretty.
Now, like many relationships, I have someone else to thank for introducing us. So I will be eternally grateful to Emmy from Berlin who sent me an email about BOY. I opened her link in the deep, dark of the night expecting nothing only to discover untold wonders. In fact, this is what I found.
See? Love at first sight, I tell you. Also, notice the pronouns on that first verse? Such a kitten, so smitten.

Thank you, thank you for introducing me to this awesome band. The bass player is from the German town where I now live (Hamburg) and their website says that they will be touring this autumn. Alas, both their gigs in Hamburg are already sold out. Hopefully, they will add some more.
I saw them last week in a german show called "Ina's Nacht" where the host Ina Müller always invites her favourite newcomer bands and sings a little song with them. They performed Drive Darling and I can't get the song out of my head since then....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXjOcbCiy-E
sounds kinda like a stronger Feist. nice.
Wowza. Thank you, kani, for posting that additional link-- it is so enchanting.
Also, did anyone else think Sonja Glass looked like Marina from the L Word with a cute haircut, in that first picture? :p
Ooo, lovely Ms. Snarker... You make my days complete.
it's a female version of the kings of convenience!
what a coincidence, I saw their video of "little numbers" last night for the first time and instantly bought tickets for their show!
i think Sonja Glass vibes spells a little Lena Headey. uhm... yum?
I have just been whingeing on my facebook page about trying to buy their album from an indie website instead of amazon. not happening, damnit. They are great, though, eh? I also live in Hamburg and am v. glad to claim them!
I just bought their album on the Groenland Records site, but I can't unzip it :( Boo.

oh wow. now i like BOY! that hasn't happened since the 90s!
Thank you Snarker. What would I do without you?
I've never heard of them! thanks :)
I've been listening to "Little Numbers" pretty much nonstop for the last two days. I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse you.
Am I crazy or do they seem a bit like girlfriends?
I also had problems unzipping the folder after I downloaded from Groenland Records, but I emailed them and they gave me a new copy that works great! I've basically been listening to it nonstop the past couple days.
I think I'm in love too Ms Snarker. Glad you don't mind sharing.
Thanks Dorothy! I have never heard of them but I love seeing videos filmed in Barcelona...I know it's Barcelona because I live there:)
try the sweedish sisters from "First Aid Kit". Pretty much the same, and pretty much the opposite. Grapevine says the brunet is gay (Hard Believer says everything:
