There's a part of Scandinavia that will forever belong to the Old West.
It's that frontier spirit, that sense of staring down nature and building up something new from empty ground.
It's definitely there in the music – just listen to the slew of effortlessly wonderful Americana that has emerged from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark over the past few years.
Oslo's Tina Refsnes is the latest in line. A songwriter of real depth, her work has a pastoral, English folk charm, that sits alongside gilded Americana.
New cut 'Alaska' is blessed with a wonderful sense of innocence, something underlined by the charming animated visuals.
Watch it now.
