This time my inner need for musical exploration was satisfied by Jonas Pernholm, so I can say I got to know about Icona Pop at first hand. ;-) However this is a kind of satisfaction, which is followed by stronger desire for more... I really want more of Icona Pop! Although I still can't get "Manners" out of my head, there is lots of space for rest great songs. This beautiful female duo playfully teases my sense of hearing by unconventional modern electro sounds, never monotonously predictible, which is perfect 'cause this sense should be stimulated variously ;-)
I will definitely keep my eye on them and complement this post when something new appears. By now you can also:
- Check out Icona Pop’s official site to download an instrumental version of “Manners".
- Get more news and all tour dates on MySpace.
- Buy the music on itunes.

| (Etymology) |
This is my own, simpliest etymology - 'icona pop' in Italian /unsurprisingly/ means 'pop icon'.
I guess everyone knows what 'pop icon' is, but it's always good to confront colloquial knowledge with dictionary definition. One of them says:
'A pop icon is a is a celebrity whose popularity (hence, "pop") remains constant or even increases as time goes by.'
It would be wonderful if this band name became self-fulfilled prophecy.

Caroline and Aino came to the world’s attention thanks to a track ‘Manners’, which was released on Kitsuné Maison 10 “The Fireworks Issue” in November 2010, it encouraged girls to follow this up by self-releasing, and giving away for free their new single ‘Still Don’t Know’.
As an added bonus they share an extended dub of 'Manners' with anyone who signs up to the mailing list on their new website.
On March 21th, 2011 they released AA-side debut single "Manners"/"Top Rated" through Neon Gold. “Manners” was produced by Patrick Berger the man behind last years all conquering Robyn smash “Dancing On My Own”. It gets good reviews and brings lots of new fans.
Currently girls have been working hard in the studio, hopefully we'll hear something new from them very soon.
