Danish Special : In Memoirs

*All the artists for this danish special were kindly suggested by the amazing Ida Gard

In Memoirs is a solo project headed by the danish singer-songwriter Morten Fillipsen. His music transports  the listener a universe which is melancholic, soothing and dreamy at the same time.


"In Memoirs invites the listeners into a forest of sound where there is plenty of room to flow away into the music. The atmospheric songs tells the stories of past experiences and memories - hence the name "In Memoirs"."

The first single "Hiding Here With Us" was number one on the national Danish radio broadcast alternative charts. This single is available on itunes. I don't think they have an album yet.

In Memoirs - "Hiding Here With Us"


In Memoirs - "Stray Dogs"


In Memoirs - "This Is The Sound"


In Memoirs - "Rome Isn't Gone"

Penny Police

Penny Police is the alias of the 27-year-old Copenhagen based singer and songwriter Marie Fjeldsted. I've heard about this artists thanks to my favorite danish singer-songwriter Ida Gard.


Penny Police has a soft and angelic voice and also a unique music style characterized by her autoharp. I haven't heard the music of an autoharp before. The sound of this instrument is nice.

Penny Police has released her first EP "Thieves Like Us" in 2011. Her debut album "The Broken, The Beggar, The Thief" released in march 2012 has impressed the danish press. You can buy it on itunes or imusic.

"She has been praised for her alternative songwriting and ability to write songs that combine the advanced with the accessible. She likes it simple and honest, gives room for both vulnerability and strength and with a rare proximity in her songs she touches old as young. She writes with her heart, full of integrity and full of hit potential."

Penny Police - "Up Here"


Penny Police - "All That Stuff"


Penny Police - "What If Life Doesn't Kill You"


Penny Police - "Slow Down Sofie"

Young's Got Talent : Hillary Hand

Hillary Hand is a young singer-songwriter and pianist from Colorado Springs. She has been playing piano since the age of 6, it took her 17 years to put the pen to paper and write her first song.


"With lyrics that suggest a maturity usually reserved for those far older than Hillary, and arrangements that captivate, you can expect nothing short of brilliance from this artist in the years to come."




I found her thanks to noisetrade and after listening to her song during few seconds, I've been immediatly captivate by her voice. She has a particular and gorgeous tone of voice ! Her debut single "Take Me Away" is spellbinding song of whom you should quickly become addicted. This song is available for free on noistrade at the moment, so do yourself a favor and download/ share it.

Hillary Hand - "Take Me Away"



"Hillary Hand is tough to nail down. Listening to her music is like hearing the passing of the seasons in a 3 minute time frame. Her delicate and breathy vocals carry you in gently, and leave you in a pounding storm of instrumentation, harmonies, and aggressiveness. But she brings you through the experience so masterfully, that what should be a dizzying array of influences and sounds becomes a cohesive journey that you never want to stop revisiting."

Ingrid Michaelson - "Blood Brothers" Official Video

Ingrid Michaelson made a new video for her song "Blood Brothers". This video was released by Dylan Steinberg & Shervin Lainez. The Makeup staff did an incredible work. It's crazy how you can change someone's face with just make-up and some props. I particularly like Ingrid-Amy Winehouse.

Mieka Pauley is a singer-songwriter who come from Massachusetts and is now based out of Brooklyn. "Mieka Pauley possesses a voice that flows like good whiskey and a frankness that makes Alanis Morissette look shy. She conjures up a sonic immediacy with the same masterful command as Ani DiFranco with driving, yearning melodies that stand alongside the work of Michelle Shocked, Neko Case and Emmylou Harris."

"The Science Of Making Choices" is expected for June 26, 2012.
