Nordstrøm (band)
Though Nordstrøm produces electronic pop, Malm and Holdt's friendship and collaboration were sparked by the Hank Williams classic "There's A Tear In My Beer". Both artists share a love for country classics, though the genre's influence on their music is not obvious. Malm and Holdt say that they draw inspiration for their songs from everyday life. Before forming Nordstrøm, Malm and Holdt played in a number of smaller bands. Though they managed to tour the Balkans, they eventually dropped their other projects in favor of Nordstrøm. Nordstrøm debuted in 2006 with their single "Berlin," which was released by EMI. "Berlin" was chosen as P3's inevitable song of the week and was the radio station's most played song in 2006. The song received a gold certificate in August 2006, and, by April 2008, had sold approx. 12,000 copies. The single was a precursor to the album "Dagdrømmer", which was released in August 2006. The album also received a gold certificate after selling 15,000 copies. Nordstrøm has played concerts at a variety of Danish music festivals, including: the Spot Festival in Aarhus, Vega, Roskilde Festival, and the Plænen festival at Tivoli. In 2009, the duo collaborated with Lise Cabble to write and produce the song "Big Bang Baby", which was performed by Claus Christensen at the 2009 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. Performing under the name "Fenger//Nordstrøm", the duo collaborated with Søs Fenger to produce the album "Gnister" in 2015.
