Yep, total Yann Tiersen.  They must be at least acquainted!  Nice to add in a Theremin-type instrument on this one.

I'm giving it an automatic 8 for the use of Theremin
I wondered why this sounded so familiar. I was stunned by the video to the Wintergatan track Sommarfågel on YouTube a few years ago, and no surprise to find Martin on both!
Great stuff!!!

That was awful.
I suddenly have a hankering for a bottle of absinthe and a documentary about Tolouse-Lautrec.  
still terrible
Makes me wanna watch a Laika Studios film!

Martin 'MacGyver' Molin (Glockenspiel, Traktofon, Toy Piano, & Theremin) - and Anders 'Flanders' Molin (Accordian & Music Box).

I think I've heard similar tune in Gravity Falls. :)

just fucking terrible
😔🙄🤮
It's like a Carnival of Hell. I'm stuck on the Tilt a Whirl and I can't get off
Good gosh I just realized I just want this to stop...Shut!  Up!  Horrible noise.  Please erase this from your playlist forever.

Yeah, she's playing the accordian.

I think that is possible.  I can think of several people I've known who can be simultaneously described with both of those terms.
  OMV !!  {#Cheesygrin}
Amelie!  I hear Yann Tierson!
Yuck!
Has anyone seen Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children? This sounds like it ought to have been in it (someone else has mentioned Tim Burton). I like this

Looks to be Swedish...  Silly Swedes. 
zehr gut, or something. I like it. I bet they'd be fun live.
Your non-latin characters aren't coming through correctly in ShoutCast w/ Songbird.  Dunno if that's something you can fix, but thought you might want to know. Happens with Björk, too.

Sounds more like Fellini than Amelie to me, but I still kinda like it.

This works for me.  I like these guys.  Unique sound, catchy (albeit simple) melody, nice, pleasant composition.  Just different enough. And with a band name and song title like that what's not to like!!?

Yes indeed, silly, light-hearted European sounding music that I'd normally mute except it reminds me of my trip to the Netherlands a few years back - nice people, fond memories.  Varmland sounds like an interesting place to visit, too.

oh god oh god

WHAT IS THIS BEING USED IN?
Universal studios halloween horror nights commercial?
Dr Who or Torchwood episode?

wtf!?!?help!

...and the album title refers to the county of Värmland. And, for sure, if there is one part of Sweden where you actually might meet a wolf it would be in Värmland.

circus music  {#Cowboy}
Weird, but cool.  I wouldn't want to live on a steady diet of it.  It'd be kinda like drinking absinthe for breakfast.  But I'll listen to it again.

Cute!
After about a minute of this I noticed my ears hurt....yucko

  Yes, total copy of Yann Tiersen (reminds me of the soundtracks of Amelie, the movie from JP Jeunet),  the rest is a bit weird, the mix is not a happy one.


Yann tiersen, I agree...Who influenced the other one? ...

Verrrrry iritating!
I totally love this song. Love it. It makes me smile the minute I hear the opening bars.


Please!  Make it stop!

Just no.  Really...no.

I dig them, quite catchy sound.
But their album does get a bit repetitive.
liked it,reminds me of paris

This reminds me of the music to the underrated computer game Ghost Master, where you planted ghosts and eerie events to haunt a house.
Sounds like a perfect Cirque du Soleil tune.

Yes, and it's wonderful {#Bounce}

(It's unfortunate that there's no waltzing bananas emoticon. They'd go well with this song.)
Here they are on YouTube.

Unusual, hence the reason I like it!{#Nyah}
Not from the movie, I know, but I think I'll watch Amelie tonight just the same.
Yay, more Detektivbyran!

::bounces on his bouncy ball::
make it stop!!

Yep, I'll second that. 8 from the Nottingham jury for this excellent retro sound. Not often you get 'pop' songs in waltz time...

Yikes! Isn't this tune from the soundtrack of one of those beautifully odd Tim Burton movies? {#Ask}

Enjoying all of the DB showing up on RP! More please, Bill!
That was annoying
Not familiar with Yann Tiersen, so this sounded pretty good to me. Refreshing.

I think we need to send someone round to the RP studio, Bill must have been overrun by a bunch of travelling musicians...

Yes, but........

Check out some cajun and zydeco music. Also, a LOT of Tex-Mex (think Flaco Jiminez). Italian music. Certainly Irish music!

This outfit has far too much "wacky acid trip in a crazy circus gone bad" feel to it.
awfully awful.  Dentist drill in the brain...I need mental floss....

OK.........{#Roflol} This has to be from the soundtrack from some weird scene from "The Prisoner"

I think these guys are great.  Any repetetiveness or lack of originality can be attributed to the fact that they are young. They'll evolve.  I really dig what they've thrown together — it's encouraging to hear such instruments being used and appreciated by the youth these days.

Nice start. But later on it starts to get very annoying with those keyboard sounds. And it sounds way too much as a bad Yann Tiersen rip off - not only the instrumentation, but the tempo doubling, the triples in the middle, the overall feeling expressed... 7 for the song, -2 for lack of originality and copy cat behaviour, -1 for the irritating keyboard makes 4.
i like the accordion. it's just a happy instrument.
Hey, this one is nice! Sounds like from an Amélie-kind-of movie...
Hmmm... I am finding that looks like I'm going to have to buy at least one  Detektivbyran CD....

Good stuff.
Did someone slip acid in my diet coke?
The beginning of this song totally sounded like something out of Pushing Daisies.  What a great show!
