Donkeyboy – Ambitions (Youtube)

A lovely, eighties influenced track for you now, coming straight out of Norway. Ambitions was originally released early last year, but it’s garnered a re-release this year and I for one am thankful it did, because it’s a bit special.

Featuring guest vocals by Linnea Dale (she’s big in Norway, I’m told), you’ve got some beautiful melodies and synth hooks, alongside a well shot and thought provoking video. They don’t do things by halves, the Scandinavians.

Essentially you’re looking at Alphabeat before they went a bit wonky, and that’s no bad thing.
