Set list:
Dirty Paws
Mountain Sound
Little Talks

[@tubeyoujacob]

The band has always been my favourite....but that audience needs a standing ovation!!

[@dquaidman]

I love how the trumpet player tears it up on the solo for Little Talks, and then gets all bashful when she hears the response. It's adorable.

[@C1oudChaser]

11:18 awesome solo

[@charlesengelbracht190]

well done..bravo

[@pcm7315]

Thanks for pointing that out: great groove. Nice sound for sure. Be remiss if I didn't give kudos to other band members.

[@frankmontoure7662]

That was amazing 😍

[@Donsdoom]

The vocals were so good here. The best live performance I've seen from them.

[@ExSkitzophrenic]

I think that if an English band had a go at these songs, they wouldn't sound half as good. That Icelandic tinge just makes it sound so much better

[@ArcasCZ]

Im from Czech Republic and english is not my native language. Can you explaint it? :D I don't hear any tinge :-)

[@ExSkitzophrenic]

***** Well I believe that it's Nanna's accent that is the reason for her distinctive singing style and, for example, on Mountain Sound the chorus has some wonderful Icelandic flavour that I think really adds to it. But that's just me : )

[@ArcasCZ]

Thats you mean :-)

[@christopherb1600]

Completely agree. I think Nanna really does this band justice on many of their songs with the flavor she adds. Her voice, and the bands overall raw sound blends perfectly.

[@alpha5846]

How is that mean I agree we are different that is all there is to it.

[@sandorkucsora9050]

amazing! fantastic!

[@BigCheeseRumble]

This was as fun to watch and listen to as it was for them. It's good to see them happy, because we love them.

Yes. Only discovered E and MZ about a month ago but have been OMaM for a long time and there is no doubt about it. Just coincidence? Perhaps. I'd love to hear Jade Castrinos sing a OMaM song.

The timbre of their voices together and the effect of their accents makes pure vocal magic.

[@BIGREDDOG09]

you're right

[@LAmike10]

Especially Nanna, whose accent is a mix of her native Icelandic/Scandinavian and Glaswegian (not sure where exactly that comes from, someone told me she lived there for a while)

I love this version so much more than the official video.

[@Skidrough]

It is an excellent version. But, my favorite is the set they did on SNL.

[@HAL9007]

Three great melodies. Two great voices. Horn Babe and Accordion Dude. Great chord changes. Focused. Having fun. Icelanders sweating for God's sake. OMAM is an international treasure.

[@darkmaitri]

It's so cute how the two singers look to each other for cues, etc...! :D PS: Do all girls from Iceland look like gorgeous pixies or fairies? I have two daughters that look like they could be from Iceland, they are so gorgeously pixie-ish. When Bjork was big they had all kinds of boys and girlies hanging about the house.
