Next to Beluga is dreamy, playfull pop with a sound in between the electronic and the organic. Songs with depth and sweetness that explore the different conventions of pop music. With old synthesizers, airy backing vocals, glockenspiel, percussion and a characteristic female lead vocal, the simple pop-melody is interpreted in a distinctive universe of sound. Light pop combined with odd inventions, indie, electronica and elements from jazz. Sophisticated and simple with the atmosphere of romantic longing and nordic melancholy.
