WE SAY

Young Dreams is a Bergen-based collective who uploaded three tracks onto their Facebook page late last year and quickly received good response from both national and international press. Online coverage included The Guardian, XL's blog and The Fader as well as national music radio in Norway. The fantastic video for their eponymous song has had over 140,000 views since its release in late March. Making melodic, tropical pop with touches of Phil Spector/Brian Wilson, it's little wonder that there is currently healthy international label interest in the band. Selected by Summer Sundae to play at their stage at this year’s Camden Crawl, they return to London to play Nordic music night JaJaJa this week. Currently recording their debut album, they are available for legal and live representation for the UK and EU. Young Dreams are available for records and publishing.

London gig: May 26 JaJaJa, The Lexington N1 (22:00)
