The Benefits

Declaring Dr. Dre, Globe, Wind & Open fire, the Sgt. Pepper’s recording, as well as the Muppets’ home music group as affects, Denmark’s the huge benefits play high-octane pop-funk-soul-hip-hop having a brass music group twist. Vocalist Ilanguaq Lumholt, an Inuit from Greenland known for his good taste in fits, and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Stengaard, a Denmark indigenous often noticed having a bass drum on his upper body, first came within the picture in 2007 when their monitor “Physical” and its own accompanying video started making a direct effect on YouTube and Western european radio. The funny and hyper video — that your Benefits made independently — managed to get towards the U.S. later in the entire year because of the General label and an marketing company known as Screenvision, which supplied content that might be noticed before feature movies in concert halls across America. While moviegoers had been being treated towards the infectious melody and its own video, Lumholt and Stengaard had been busy documenting their debut record within a previous underground bomb shelter in Copenhagen. General shortly slated the record for a springtime 2008 release.
