  Origami Arktika
Origami Galaktika's sound is not far away, but the use of acoustic instruments such as guitars and bells gives it a more organic and authentic feeling instead of a spacey and hypnotizing one.
Origami Arktika don't exactly crack jokes (unless the Scandinavian sense of humor is even darker and weirder than I thought), but if they play this stuff live while naked and covered in bodypaint, they can't be all doom and gloom.
What fascinates me about Origami Arktika is that in their revolutionary play, they do not denounce their ancestors nor their country, but incorporate tradition in a respectful way, all the while setting old tradition in the context of new technology and thought.

Many of the bases for the bands' songs are their political and moral beliefs about the world, women's rights and human rights.
The band made these views evident in songs about the right to protest, anti-corporate, pro art sentiment, and the beauty that lies within and not in standards created by the media.
After much cheering and screaming for an encore, the band played their punk-folk rendition of 'Goldilocks', and the joyful bouncy 'I boinked the bride', (boinked being the Canadian term for bonked), with the large crowd singing along to the chorus.
