Video: Icona Pop - "Nights Like This" (official music video)


I've been hearing about the Swedish pop duo Icona Pop for awhile now, but I hadn't actually heard anything by them before going to their concert in Stockholm last night on a whim. I've clearly been missing out; I haven't been this impressed by a band I didn't already know for a long time. The duo, consisting of Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, released their debut ep Nights Like This last Monday and with it came the video for its lead single and title track. Check it out below, and make sure to keep an eye on this group in the future since they've already been given quite a lot of press in Sweden and the UK.
