@0kojack0 They've been playing the radio edit of this one (just shortened), the live version they did for the Maida Vale session (available to stream from BBC website now, just google BBC Sound of 2012) and they've also played DJ Ease My Mind and The Drummer.

[0kojack0]

What tune have they bn playing on radio1 this week? It's not this one? Might be a remix? Anyone know?

[danbrownwhat]

@0kojack0 SHM remix

[Monk3yTouch3r]

@0kojack0 'the fox' i believe

[RickyHigham123]

Love it! How do we get the free single from their website?

[brasstax]

@RickyHigham123 It was a free download a year ago. It no longer is, sorry.

[d230ce]

It's like a mixture of Lykke Li and Fever Ray

[melijs]

deep & sexy! Very nice. Check also the Goldroom remix

[mrchips201]

Niki and the Dove are a duo, namely Malin Dahlström (vocals) and Gustaf Karlöf (multi-instrumentalist). They write the songs and music together and have additional percussionists join them for live performances.

The name Niki and the Dove has personal meaning for Malin and Gustav, and to try and explain it would ruin it. A bit like when you have to explain a joke and it loses the humour.

There's an official video for this song now. Seen them 4 times in London this year. They're gonna be big.

[oxmaddyxo1]

ahhhh i just love that tune at 2:13

[DougieLikesYou]

I can't help but love this song. But SO much like little dragon it hurts.

[JoolsyB]

Aaaah, refreshing...

[jp7one6]

33,000 of the views were me.

[doctorbrinker]

Is the dove like a producer or..?

[jemvaughan]

@doctorbrinker I don't think so, I think she just called herself that.

[xmaster2]

@jemvaughan I believe "The Dove" are the musicians in the band.

[jemvaughan]

@xmaster2 Well I looked into it, and her name isn't actually Niki, at least that's what it said on Last.fm.

[onesweetdream11]

I think I have listened to this 5 times today. So good.

[MrMarvolution]

Superb Live although the voice distorter they use needs work!!

Included in the BBCs ones to watch out for in 2012

[mbadder1]

Check out the Badder remix of DJ Ease My Mind

[CarinaJoergensen]

The vocals from 3:00 don't need no dubstep tweaking to stand out.

[kramholio]

is the dove on the flute?

[TheRocksandbee]

Tuneee!!

[delays1]

Makes my ears smile. Tune.

[delays1]

Total Love.

[beakwoventies]

[maggies88]

Good different.

[arturetto]

[wearethefuture3030]

Talking of influence, anyone notice a bit of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac in her voice?

[bianchi1885]

@wearethefuture3030 I noticed as well, lots of Stevie Nicks in her voice.

[Thelana911]

I found this song really strange when I first heard it, now I'm addicted

[realpinkfan]

in some parts her voice and the sound reminds me of Lykke Li

[bianchi1885]

Yes, the vocal likeness of Kate Bush, but the vibe of Siouxsie & the Banshees.

[chulk607]

Hello Kate Bush meets The Knife meets Little Dragon. Can we be friends? I think so!

[saitu83]

@chulk607  i've never heard of little dragon, but i definately agree with the other two. especially kate bush
