DOWNLOAD: Death By Kite- Himmelfahrtskommando and Bhf. Asta

Grimmy thrash pop experimentation is going off in basement bars in Denmark in rebellion from the dreamy, ambient sounds of neighboring islanders Jose Gonzalez and Sigur Ros. Death By Kite is a prime example. If the song name "Himmelfahrtskommando" doesn't explain exactly how the band feels, their Myspace sums it up: "We are dancing on knives here.” "Bhf. Asta," has scrambling punk 'tude, while the teething snare and delay-drenched guitar intro in "Himmelfahrtskommando" solidifies the band's Interpol/Joy Division comparisons.

Oh- and for your Danish German vocab lesson of the day: "Himmelfahrtskommando" means "suicide command." (We had bets going it meant really beastly drop-dead smelling thing. Good to know we weren't incredibly off.)
