Sundfor's awesome. But just want to say that entire AVery album is a beast! My favorite find so far from this tourney.

Now this is a tough one! Like 'em both quite a bit. Had to give both many multiple listens to ultimately settle on Susanne.

Great pick Revolver �'� , I had only heard of Susanne Sundfør from her collaborations with Röyksopp but I will definitely check her out.

I really love both of these tracks. I'd hate to see either out so early, but I voted for Avery's track.

Both are lovely, though. Strong picks.

I'd say something like this. But not as well. lol.

I've never been able to get into Sundfor, but I've been listening to a lot of house and techno lately and this Daniel Avery track is the kind of stuff I really like.

It's an easy vote for Susanne Sundfør, an artist I really like. Although the song When is not my favorite song by Susanne Sundfør (which is It's All Gone Tomorrow, from the album The Brothel, 2010) and not my favorite song from the album The Silicone Veil, 2012 (which is White Foxes) either, it's still better than Knowing We'll Be Here.

Sundfor is one of the greatest art pop songwriters of her generation.

I find Knowing Will Be There to be the absolute best track from Daniel Avery. The man has a very unique style, but this particular track is even more unique. It's the closing track of his great debut album, and there is something with this sound I don't find anywhere else. It's weird and noisy, yet beautiful and it makes me feel at home.
Avery kind of took the early 90s acid sound and made something completely different with it, and yet so familiar.
