The Little Hands Of Asphalt Deliver Simple Pop Goodness
Oslo, Norway gives us The Little Hands Of Asphalt, which means Oslo, Norway is okay with us.
I know nothing of the Oslo, Norway music scene, but I do know that they’ve produced a hidden gem in The Little Hands Of Asphalt. The Little Hands Of Asphalt deliver a pristine, almost perfect alt-country sound with sincere power pop lyrics. The critics in Norway agree, calling the band, “The greatest thing to come out of Norway in years.”
They have no plans of coming to the States anytime soon, but there is zero reason for The Little Hands Of Asphalt to remain part the Oslo underground for much longer. The simple, almost naïve pop goodness (and channeling front man Sjur Lyseid’s inner Elliott Smith) is far too catchy to be ignored. Listen to “Blue & Green” below.
