The Berg Sans Nipple

The Berg Sans Nipple
Genre: Lo-Fi / Electronica
From: Paris, France

Yes you read it right this franco-American duo really are called The Berg Sans Nipple (it means the mountain without top), possibly the worst named band in 2007, unless you know differently (email me with any worse names please). Get past the name and The Berg (as I think they should insist on being called) are a decent lo-fo electro band with touches of Sufjan Stevens (take a listen to 'Mystic Song' and tell me it isn't a lost track from 'Illinoise').

The Berg is comprised of the pseudonym-donning Lori Sean Berg and Shane Aspegren. The former is a suave Frenchman from the dirty rues of gay Pariee and the latter is a lanky Scandinavian-looking fellow who actually hails from the dusty plains of Nebraska. While the duo’s organic sound lends support to the rumor that they are actually Siamese twins separated at birth, the reality is that they are two kids both best known for their skills as drummers, trapped in a tangled mess of cables, keyboards, samplers, horns, bells and machines. Together they effortlessly blend dreamy electronica, percussion-heavy afro-beats, layers of feedback, pop melodies and dub blankets, creating a cohesive collage of everything that's influenced the duo since birth.

When not creating music as The Berg Sans Nipple, Aspegren and Berg are still creating music. Aspegren can be heard playing drums on the latest Bright Eyes record 'Cassadaga' and Berg was most recently a member of the beloved and hyped French anti-folk group Herman Dune.
