Have Love, Will Travel

The Danes have it.

Maybe it’s the water, or the fresh air that cultivates sweet pop fashion and music in Denmark, but anyway this is the second Danish band I’m featuring here in the last few weeks.

Moi Caprice played SXSW this year, but in an interview with Erin Young, they revealed that although they hope to sell some more albums, they have no real desire to hit the big time.

We're not the kind of people who love to be in front of a lens or love to see ourselves go crazy in music videos. It sounds really slick, but we're really in this because we love to make music; everything else seems more or less like obligatory things we have to do. And we love to do as few of these things as possible, and I have an idea that you need to do these things to make it big in this business! Our goal at the moment is somewhat different; we hope to release the album in as many countries as possible and find our small audiences all around.

In the interview, they talked extensively about one of the major themes in their music—travel.

We're all quite well travelled, we've all backpacked our way through Europe, went to the US or Asia and we all travel quite often. I think we share that feeling of excitement whenever we set foot somewhere new, or at least relatively unknown. To me this feeling is probably one of the greatest sensations in life; some of the happiest moments in my life have been those endless walks in a new city where you get lost and love it.

What a well-spoken group of guys! I completely share their sentiment on travel. Read the rest of the interview here.

And watch the video for The Town and The City.

I wouldn't mind disappearing for a while too…
