The quartet -- Heggero, Yngve Hilmo, Marius Ergo, and Jorgen Smadal Larsen -- began playing together as teens, earning airplay on Norwegian national radio with two singles off their 2007 debut, <I>Lake Toba</I>. In the months following the release, the band's popularity spread beyond its homeland with international tours and foreign releases of its debut, which was lauded by British and American tastemakers like <I>NME</I> and Pitchfork. - Nate CavalieriIndie/Alternativeen720Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:12:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6964849&rws=%2Flukestar%2Ftop-tracks.rss The intricately arranged, hook-driven post pop of Norway's Lukestar certainly demonstrates careful attention to progressive rock, '80s radio hits and the unrestrained creative volume of the alternative groundswell.
