Niki and the Dove is a band from Stockholm, Sweden with two members, Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf. Getting together in February 2010, Malin and Gustaf have spent the time since writing together, figuring out just how pop music works and then discovering new ways to break it.
Niki and the Dove’s songs are full of magic and light but with an unsettling darkness hidden beneath the surface. It’s pop music but a world away from the production line aesthetics of much modern chart music.

Tales from a Record Store
April 16, 2011
April 16 is the fourth annual Record Store Day. A day dedicated the small town record shops that are struggling to hold onto the dying art of vinyl records. If the hip-hop DJ community can’t save them than leave it to the die-hard hipster types to embrace their love of vintage and fuel the resurgence of vinyl with all their skips and scratches.
All this talk about records has brought back some memories of visiting my favorite stores in a time before anything digital existed. So in honor of the day I thought I’d share those stories with you.
I have fond memories as a kid visiting the record stores and spending an hour flipping through each album. The sales bins usually didn’t offer up much of a choice a 12-year-old would really want. It usually was filled with something your parents would most likely buy such as a Steve and Edie, Robert Goulet 45 or who ever was performing on the Laurence Welk show at the time. I’m sure the Trololololo guy had a few singles in that bin.
