Anniversary week, yeah! Forty SpaceScans down this week, which should leave around twelve to go this year. This one presents the greatly infectious Norwegian alternative pop from Oslo outfit Firefly Effect and the glorious Icelandic trio Dynamo Fog, who shoot out good fun rock with disco and pop effects from their lair in Reykjavík.

Firefly Effect (NO)
It’s ugly, noisy, jangly and jingly, but it’s also greatly infectious in all it’s imperfection. Oh, and of course because Firefly Effect actually deliver solid, sunny pop. The Norwegian band released their debut album ‘Everything Is Beautiful And You Are The Reason’ back in June and are well worth any alternative pop fan’s time.

I haven’t got a whole lotta info on this Icelandic trio since all communication on their MySpace is in their native tongue (of which I speak none) and I haven’t been arsed to Google the guys. Anywho, Dynamo Fog’s music speaks plenty in its glorious, not so serious mix of thrashy rock, hard disco and catchphrase pop.
