Virtually famous: Anna of the North

Electronic pop of the highest order: Anna Lotterud

With that stage name, Anna Lotterud could be a character in Game of Thrones, but it’s really just an apt nickname given to her by her bandmate, Brady Daniell-Smith.

She’s from Norway, which couldn’t be much further north from his New Zealand birthplace. The pair met after she relocated to Melbourne in what sounds like a fairly spontaneous life shake-up.

They’ve ended up making soft-focus electronic pop of the highest order, her breathy vocals and Scandi frostiness tempered by something sunnier from his end of things. High streaming numbers have earned Lotterud a slot singing on the new album from divisive rapper Tyler, the Creator, alongside much higher profile names such as Frank Ocean and A$AP Rocky.

The pair shared a bill with Justin Bieber in Hyde Park recently, and will be back for a smaller London show of their own at Omeara at the end of next month.

Before then, a lovely album, Lovers, comes out on September 8, and should put them in great demand regardless of where they are on the planet.
