Album artwork for First by Liss

Enter Liss, who released their singles "Try/Always" on Danish tastemaker label Escho late last year and have quickly become something of a phenomenon in their homeland, scooping up critics' awards and making numerous TV appearances (watch Liss perform "Always" on Gaffa). To further cement their presence, the band appeared at Eurosonic this year and were one of the best live discoveries at the festival explains DIY: "There's been plenty of talk around this Danish group, a hybrid of Blood Orange-nodding '80's nostalgia, Connan Mockasin influence and even the off hing of Frank Ocean. That's on record. Live, Liss are a vibrant force with few comparisons. Søewn Holm is a shapeshifting frontman, leading the Aarhus groups through a tightly-wound trip of slap bass and thudding percussion. Everything hits in the right place, and for a band who've barely existed for a year, they've definitely been practicing."
