I had a couple too many mezcals during the "Spirits of the World" Culture Collide San Francisco Creative Summit panel... yadda yadda yadda... I invited Norwegian indie pop band Level & Tyson to come on to the show! Their debut album "Even Faster Still" is a fantastic display of skill and restraint - crafting melodic, layered choruses from quirky walls of guitar and synth. If this band and their album was being promoted in the United States, you'd already know about it.
