2013年，DNKL在瑞典哥德堡（Gothenburg）的地下錄音棚里漸漸成形。這支樂隊由André Laos, Claes Str?ngberg 和 Jonatan Josefsson組成。他們魅惑的暗黑系電子流行很快在全世界范圍內吸引了一大批追隨者，成為瑞典最令人期待的新銳樂隊。 DNKL的首支單曲《Hunt》獲無數好評，DIY雜志用“朦朧雙眼，凌晨4點的勝利”來形容它。不但登上英國衛報和Discobelle、Indie Shuffle這樣的權威博客，《Hunt》最終還在The Line Of Best Fit選出的“2013年50首最佳單曲”名單中位列第35位。 接下來的單曲《Battles》同樣收到來自評論界的贊譽，THE FADER描述它為“將M83早期的合成器創作與后期的搖滾風完美融合”，Notion雜志稱其為“恰如其分的流行佳作”。 DNKL隨后登上了全球各大音樂節的舞臺，包括Roskilde音樂節、Way Out West 音樂節以及柏林音樂周。樂隊還作為嘉賓樂隊參與了Com Truise的歐洲巡演。 2015年初，DNKL通過美國廠牌Sugarcane Recordings正式發行了首張官方EP《Wolfhour》。EP包含兩首全新作品《Wolfhour》和《Warm Dark Night》，以及之前的單曲《Battles》和《Hunt》。除此之外，EP還收入了由Keep Shelly in Athens, Seekae 和 Sun Glitters重新混音之后的remix版本?！禬olfhour》還會推出12寸黑膠版，電子版音頻會在11月17日上線。 “當我們看到自己用心做出的音樂最終浮出水面，走出狹小的地下室，讓人們聽到時，那種感覺很不可思議。對我們來說，這張EP的發行意味著樂隊的第一章節完成，我們會進入一個更加令人興奮的階段?！薄狣NKL 媒體的贊譽： “瑞典最棒的新銳樂隊之一，你應該立馬去聽” ——High Snobiety “《Hunt》是一首凌晨四點，睡眼朦朧時的勝利曲，連它自己都意識不到這首歌里那種孤獨和悲傷的閃爍有多美?！? ——DIY “Robyn紀念郵票，肉丸和流行樂：感覺現在所有的好東西都來自瑞典。暗黑流行樂隊DNKL也不例外。他們的音樂既鬼魅又迷人，介于Massive Attack和Chet Faker之間?！? ——Noisey “徹底令人陶醉，帶著些許不安，爆裂干脆的電音伴隨著鬼魅迷幻的人聲，讓人想起了暗黑流行合成器那徘徊不散的煙霧，以及隱藏在誘人節拍背后的80年代電子幽靈?！? ——The Line Of Best Fit “響脆的電音浮現耳畔，貝斯涌動，柔和、半呢喃似的人聲讓人徹底淪陷?！? ——衛報The Guardian “我坦白：自從這周郵箱里收到《Hunt》這首歌以來，我已經循環播放它無數次了。我對我的上癮感到羞恥嗎？當然不會。DNKL的魅惑力足夠大，讓你完全沉浸其中，去接受你內心的癡迷吧?！? ——Notion Magazine “緊隨去年的《Hunt》，瑞典三人樂隊DNKL今日分享了第二支單曲《Battles》，這首大氣的作品將M83早期的合成器創作與后期的搖滾風完美融合，憂郁而充滿迷思。 ——The Fader “經歷痛苦和煩擾之后，DNKL帶來了一首動人的歌。這支瑞典樂隊自2013年突破性的《Hunt》之后再次歸來，帶來這首歌的二次剪輯版本：它保留了暴風雨般的合成器線條以及溢滿悲傷的人聲?！禜unt》原版的打擊樂部分則被深夜暗涌般的律動替代，很像I Break Horses的專輯在霓虹燈中被點亮?！? ——DIY 合作廠牌：New Noise http://site.douban.com/newnoise/ www.newnoise.cn It’s been exciting twelve months for Swedish trio DNKL. Emerging from their Gothenburg basement studio at the end of 2013, the band have featured on some of the most influential music websites around, played at some of Europe’s biggest festivals and won over a legion of fans around the world with their mesmerizing, dark electronic pop. Their debut song "Hunt", hailed as a “bleary eyed, 4am triumph” by DIY, would go on to feature everywhere from The Guardian to influential blogs such as Discobelle and Indie Shuffle and would eventually find itself at #35 in The Line Of Best Fit’s ‘Fifty Best Tracks of 2013’. Its follow-up “Battles” would meet with similar praise, THE FADER describing it as the “best-of-both-worlds bridging M83's earlier synth work and later rock styling” and Notion Magazine as "pop done right". Since then the band have gone onto perform at the world famous Roskilde Festival, open the Way Out West festival with a live performance on the Boiler Room stage, play at Berlin Music Week and support Com Truise on his European tour. Now DNKL are set to release their debut official release, the "Wolfhour" EP on US label Sugarcane Recordings (Gazelle Twin, John Foxx, Jori Hulkonnen). A 4 track EP featuring “Battles" and "Hunt" alongside two stunning new tracks and live favourites, "Wolfhour" and "Warm Dark Night", that shows just how far the band have come in the past twelve months. "The last year has been amazing for us. It is an incredible feeling when the music we have been putting our hearts into finally surfaces and people outside of our tiny basement studio get to hear our songs. For us the release of this EP, and these 4 tracks, represents the end of the first chapter for DNKL and the start of something even more exciting.” - DNKL Alongside the EP there will also be a remix package featuring reworks by Keep Shelly in Athens, Seekae and Sun Glitters.

PRESS QUOTES "'Hunt' is a bleary eyed, 4am triumph, blissfully unaware of how beautiful its isolation and saddened glow truly is." DIY "Utterly intoxicating and just a little bit unnerving…" The Line Of Best Fit "Its crackling electronic surface, surging bass and silky, half-whispered vocals remain an utterly enticing prospect." The Guardian "A confession: I’ve listened to ‘Hunt’ about a gazillion this week. Am I ashamed of my addiction? Absolutely not.” Notion Magazine "… a sort of best-of-both-worlds bridging M83s earlier synth work and later rock styling, a meteoric track with no shortage of melancholy." THE FADER
