I have to say - even before knowing that The Familiar's "Stuck Together" originates from Norway, I felt this weird Nordic vibe stemming from the track. Well, not the track, I guess. The band as a whole.

The duo, consisting of native New Yorker Ruth Mirsky (ex The Drums) and producer Mads Martinsen created one of the most captivating indie / electro soundscapes out there. Drenched in weird darkness, describing "Stuck Together" feels impossible. Whether it's my tiredness right now or just tracks' complexity... this goes way beyond a few words.

I've never seen Aurora Borealis, but when I do, I would like to listen to "Stuck Together". I'm not usually into synth music, but damn this is so good.
