The Sound of Arrows
Nova

Geffen

WE SAY

The Sound of Arrows are Swedish duo Stefan Storm and Oskar Gullstrand, who rose to prominence with their debut Into the Clouds, which came complete with a great DIY video. The pair also followed that up with a hugely successful remix of Lady Gaga's Alejandro last year. Nova is the next taste of their lush and euphoric pop. The Tiesto and Almighty remixes have been setting things up at club level, and the April release of the single should help propel interest into the mainstream - 'Clear a path to the Top 5', writes Popjustice. A full festival schedule is lined up for the summer and a bunch of spring dates will be announced before that. Their album has just been completed – if they can match or better these early offerings then this is their year for the taking. Watch the video, which they made themselves in Oskar’s graphic design studio, here.
