Album Review: MÍO, "Hva Nå?"

Send us Fan MailAs you all know, MÍO's debut record Ingen Tid å Miste earned the top spot on my 2023 Nordic Sound Top 10 list. All these years later, I still stand by what I’ve said before: not only does MÍO weave a musical experience like no other, but their electrifying live performances put them in a league of their own. But Ingen Tid å Miste had the benefit of being without precedent. The sophomore album, on the other hand, is the arena in which a band like MÍO needs to buckle in and put in the work needed to follow through under the weight of a whole new set of expectations.So, with Hva Nå, will MÍO conjure up a second record that stands on its own legs, or would they always be striving for, and not quite reaching, the heights of their inaugural album? Let's talk about it.Support the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/jamesonfosterBarMonicaEmberGeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTonyYou too can support the project at patreon.com/nordicsound
