Listen Music Samples

Drivan is a new band by the multi-talented Kim Hiorthøy, who is well-known with his background as graphic designer for album cover art of the great Rune Grammofon and Smalltown Supersound and a cool electronica musician, consisting of Kim, Lisa Ostberg and Louise Peterhoff of Sweden, and Kristiina Viiala of Finland. The group met in Stockholm in the fall of 2007 while working together on a multi-faceted dance piece by choreographer and performance artist Gunilla Heilborn, entitled The Potato Country according to the band's web site.

If you have heard Kim Hiorthøy’s previous albums, you know how good he is to produce groovy, organic, neat, loop-leaning cool electronica music with hip-hop rhythm and acoustic folk influence…..listening his music something like a cool fashionable people relaxingly walking on Sunday main street with both hands rested in trouser’s pockets and whistling his favourite melodies…….with a new band and new members, honestly, the music is still his trademark electronica sound and vibe, seems only with adding a female vocal with personality something like Stereolab's vocal and cool electric guitar riffs….make the album more rich, accessible and poppy!!
