Nordstrøm (band)
Nordstrøm is a Danish electronic-pop duo formed in 2004 in Copenhagen. The group consists of Troels Holdt and Lars Malm, who had been friends for more than 10 years before starting the group. The group's name is a compound word of the Danish words ''nord'' and ''strøm'', meaning north-energy. According to Holdt and Malm, the name was chosen with the idea that electronic music comes from the northern sky, and that electricity creates life. History Though Nordstrøm produces electronic pop, Malm and Holdt's friendship and collaboration were sparked by the Hank Williams classic " There's A Tear In My Beer". Both artists share a love for country classics, though the genre's influence on their music is not obvious. Malm and Holdt say that they draw inspiration for their songs from everyday life. Before forming Nordstrøm, Malm and Holdt played in a number of smaller bands. Though they managed to tour the Balkans, they eventually dropped their other projects in favor of Nordstrøm ...
