Copenhagen-based duo  A Good Year is formed by Albert Hildebrand and Tobias Laust, reshaping together the edges of Denmark’s alternative scene with their blend of cinematic textures and understated pop. Their sound drifts somewhere between ambient pop, cinematic electronica, and textures songwriting – music that feels as visual as it does melodic with resonating wooden guitars dwell alongside a soft queen voice, paced by rimshots and hi-hats. Their breakout collaboration ‘YSL’ with Horse Vision (more than 200,000 streams on Spotify) and their latest single ‘Dealerz’ with Quiet Light, released at the start of October, marks the beginning of a warmer, more immediate chapter that’s still rooted in their characteristic sense of atmosphere.

Experimentation is at the core of Robocobra Quartet, whether it be in the fluid line-up (musicians tagging in and out to make up the live touring quartet) or in their unique approach to recording and writing in their hometown of Belfast, N. Ireland. The result is a collective of musicians inspired by Stravinsky and Dead Kennedys in equal measures. On stage, the band are protons and electrons circling drummer-vocalist Chris W Ryan; meticulous arrangements and on-the-spot improvisations hang on every word spoken, sung and shouted by Ryan. These words and rhythms are what propel the music of Robocobra Quartet forward and concoct a sound that is powerful but cerebral too, invoking the likes of Fugazi, Black Midi and Tortoise.
