In the cold November of 2011 two friends from Sweden released a tropical dose of sweet musical escapism which invited the listener to explore a textured fantasy world. On top of it that album was also loaded with lots of pop musical references which made NBHAP head Norman immediately fall in love back then. One decade that flame of love is still burning strong so he decided to track down Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder, the people responsible for this hidden musical treasure.
