It’s no secret that Nephew worked hard to achieve the status they have today. They had nearly a decade of solid gigging behind them when they finally hit on a national level with “Movieclip”. Fast-forward nine years and they’re a platinum-selling act with a huge album on the horizon. Hjertestarter is a booming alt-rock epic with synth elements that only add to the mystique. At times as bombastic as Muse or as dark and brooding as Depeche Mode, Nephew showcase their considerable songwriting skills here.
