The Copenhagen-formed female art-rock duo – vocalist and keyboard-player Josephine Philip and guitarist Ina Lindgreen – have been active since their 2011 hit ‘Hey’ went viral.

Creating an altogether atmospheric, romantic and sleek sound remisicent of The XX, the duo have been touring both the US and Europe ever since the release of their self-titled debut.

Having recently released their new though unseasonably entitled record Dance and Cry, the pair have returned to the road with a domestic tour in progress. You won’t regret seeing them.
