WATCH THE GLOW
With beats that crack like sugared glass, and synth plumes collected from the mist of an enchanted lake, here are the Next Big Scandi Happening. Further proof that Sweden is king of pastel-toned synth-pop perfection.

Swedish trio MOBA stoked up a blog fire last year with their twindie-house cover of the Sapphires' 1964 hit 'Who Do You Love'. It should have been annoying, but singer Alices's vocals had a certain soul that lifted the track out of the kiddies' creche and made it more addictive than crack-infused cupcakes. Now in town for their first-ever UK show and it's equally moreish, songwriter Leo keeping the beats lively but not gauche. 'Painted Wall' does Arthur Russell gone '90s house, and 'Watch The Glow' is snapping, YACHT-esque pop with dubby overtones - perfect for the post-summer of glo-fi afterglow.
