Hanne Hukkelberg
I must be in a Norwegian pop kind of mood. Though this is definitely a different flavor than Eva and The Heartmaker. Actually, I immediately thought of Tegan & Sara when I first heard this. Hanne Hukkelberg apparently started her musical career in metal bands, which could explain her penchant for using unusual noises/instrumentation in what might otherwise have been pretty straightforward pop songs. ‘Blood From A Stone’ is an hypnotic, swirling carnival ride, reminiscent of the more palatable side of Bjork. I’m sold! The video isn’t too engaging, but the song makes up for it.
