Sweden's AK-Momo

I recently discovered the music of the Swedish duo AK-Momo and found quite a unique sound. Most reviewers compare them to a mixture of Kate Bush, Portishead and Massive Attack. I think I even hear a little Bjork in there. What I really enjoy is the very original instrumentation, unlike anything else I've heard in a long time. They use Mellotrons, Optigans and Orchestrons to create minimalistic haunting, moody and ethereal music worth a listen.... Here are three tracks to enjoy and judge for yourself.

Women to Control
Return To N.Y.
Boys & Girls
