" Glamazon Nanna \u00D8land Fabricius is a tall stick of Danish dynamite with the cheekbones of a European model, the dreamy voice of a pop princess, and dance moves that rival Martha Graham&amp;#039;s. A former ballerina, she spent eight years revolting against the Bohemian, music-drenched Copenhagen cottage she grew up in \u2014 mom was an opera star, dad a composer \u2014 by fleeing to the rules-driven world of the Royal Ballet School. &amp;quot;It was strange \u2014 who rebels with ballet?&amp;quot; laughs Oh Land. &amp;quot;But dance was the closest I could be to music without saying, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m going to be a musician just like you thought.&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  Despite her best efforts to shrug off the family legacy, a fractured spinal disk cut short her ballet career at 18, and the one-woman band now known as Oh Land was born. Crafting what she calls electro-pop &amp;quot;fairy tales&amp;quot; on her first full-length, self-titled album in America, which dropped last spring, Oh Land blends an infectious mix of gurgling synths, tinkling xylophone, and ethereal vocals that pulses with energy and is pure dance-floor bliss. &amp;quot;I play everything \u2014 glockenspiel, electric drums, piano \u2014 and I&amp;#039;m very good on a recorder, grade-school style,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Which isn&amp;#039;t so rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll!&amp;quot;  Just as buzz-worthy are her quirky concerts, referred to as &amp;quot;Mary Poppins on acid,&amp;quot; where gilding her body in gold or prancing around a stage packed with balloons covered in her image is the norm. &amp;quot;Even my first show as Oh Land in a tiny, shitty bar, I had dancers who were painted blue and a stage covered in flowers and bubbles, and I threw glitter,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;People were like, &amp;#039;What the hell is going on?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Theatrics and glitter bombs aside, her killer style (&amp;quot;French bookworm meets circus horse,&amp;quot; she explains) and icy beauty have stolen the hearts of the fashion set. &amp;quot;I love everything visual \u2014 art, cinema, nature, and clothes,&amp;quot; says Oh Land, who lists Marni, Miu Miu, and Acne as her fave designers. &amp;quot;When I wake up, I look forward to wearing my fluffy gloves or pink Stine Goya hat or whatever it is that day,&amp;quot; she says. Still, Oh Land balks at being named fashion&amp;#039;s latest muse: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t notice the attention,&amp;quot; she laughs. &amp;quot;But I have noticed that the girls in my audience are always very well-dressed. And my bandmates \u2014 the two guys I tour with \u2014 are excited about that!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
