Sounds Like: Smuggle this group to Appalachia, sneak them on after Will Oldham, and no one will suspect they aren't Kentucky-born. Gothenburg, Sweden, is a hotbed for more unlikely musical scenes than you can name, and thanks to Racingpaperplanes, that list now extends to alt-country. Warm acoustic guitars, rootsy lead licks, and husky, intimate vocals put this duo at the head of the movement. (download.com)
