Indie-rock sensations Ex Norwegian are receiving an uproarious reception to their debut album, Standby, being declared the “next big indie thing” by Revue magazine. Performing at New York’s CMJ Music Marathon mere months after their formation, the band has become the new buzz band of the year seemingly overnight. College radio led the charge with over 140 stations spinning them regularly now and the music blogosphere quickly followed with the band receiving rave reviews critically, cover stories, and featured spots on some of the most popular music sites. All the while the band’s fanbase continues its rapid growth since the release of their two singles, the Shins-styled folk-pop “Something Unreal” and the irresistibly catchy “Dance Trance Pants.”
