“Tomorrow” is a new single from Stockholm based electropop trio Niki & The Dove. Formed in February 2010, Niki & The Dove is the aural genesis of Malin Dahlström (vocals), Gustaf Karlöf (keyboards) and Magnus Böqvist (drums). Signed to Sub Pop/Mercury Records, the trio released their debut EP, The Drummer, back in October 2011, featuring two singles – “The Fox,” and their only “hit” to date – “DJ, Ease My Mind.” The 7-track EP was the precursor to Niki & The Dove‘s forthcoming full length debut album, Instinct, due out May 14th in the UK. In December of 2011, the BBC nominated Niki & The Dove for their annual ‘Sound of 2012‘ poll where the trio came in fifth place.
Had I heard the music of Niki & The Dove prior to reading about them, I could have easily guessed that they were, at the very least, Scandinavian if not Swedish specifically. I’ve said it on numerous occasions but those Swedes know how to seamlessly craft lush, sonically delicious melodies, backed by seemingly complex and intricate production work. Niki & The Dove is no different, with “Tomorrow” and “DJ, Ease My Mind” being prime examples. For a bit more of the band’s back-story, check out this quirky little interview Michael Cragg of The Guardian did with Dahlström & Karlöf just after the release of The Drummer.
