Those Dancing Days (se)

They formed back in 2005 while still at high school – Fuelled by the punk DIY ethic – “although we can play our instruments properly,” says Cissi proudly – their name, though, is a nod to Led Zeppelin song, Dancing Days on 1973 album Houses Of The Holy. Mimmi explains “my favourite band, no one else really likes them in the group but I’m trying my best to convince them they should like them but some people do find the name puzzling as we don’t sound anything like them.” In fact they’re a galaxy away from Led Zep’s machismo huffing, puffing, strutting and thrusting. Their songs instead exist in a much more otherworldly space; one where say, the kaleidoscopic surrealism of a Michel Gondry film could inhabit and make perfect, beautiful sense.
