SOTD #174 // Treefight For Sunlight: 'What Became of You and I'

A rather exciting proposition to emerge from Denmark; Treefight For Sunlight are the latest signing to to Bella Union and ‘What Became Of You and I’ the first taster of what we can expect from their self-titled debut album, due out February 14 next year.

The sunny exterior that radiates throughout the songs four minutes is something slightly askew to the normal breed of Danish bands. What with Mew, Our Broken Garden, Chimes and Bells, The Raveonettes and The Kissaway Trail all taking darker (albeit totally different) paths – Treefight For Sunlight embrace a wealth of sixties styled harmonies; chock full of west coast vibes and gleaming pop hooks. It’s sprightly stuff indeed and if this first taster is anything to go by, these young Danes could be one of 2011′s brightest new offerings. Stream / download below.
