Swedish duo, DNDR have made quite the entrance with their debut single, “Shine A Little Light On Your Own Mind.” With a pulsing beat and stunning vocals, the debut track from Ludwig Jonsson and Ola Palsson arrives just in time as summer winds down. Listen to the track now below!
DNDR’s ability to inject everyday life with that feeling of enchantment comes from the combination of Ludwig Jonsson’s dream-like, Avicii-esque production, and Ola Palsson’s soaring tenor that sounds like what you might have had if Bon Iver hadn’t found his voice in the middle of the woods in winter, and instead found himself blissfully belting at Coachella.
The two come from opposite ends of Sweden, where they never crossed paths until they both found themselves in LA pursuing music from opposing ends of the spectrum: Ola came from punk and indie roots, where Ludwig started in the world of electronica. They quickly realized they had the same goal. “We wanted to create music to make crowds dance and let people escape reality for a moment,” Ludwig explains. It turns out their talents combined perfectly to do just that.
