Although Vanbot hit the scene before them, comeback single Hold This Moment is bound to garner them comparisons to BBC Sound of 2012 nominees Niki And The Dove. High-vocal, Swedish sadpop is on the brink of becoming passé, but who can resist a bit of heartache sung over stirring, synth-laden beats?
Despite not currently belabelled, the duo (for they are two) stride on with preparing a 2nd album after their self-titled 2011 debut. However, with little to set them apart from the rest of the Scandi pack, like Tove Styrke, Rosanna and even Niki and her dove before them, Vanbot are unlikely to see online acclaim translate into sales. Hold This Moment is not a patch on their first single Make Me, Break Me, but it's still worth a few repeat plays before the next "new Robyn" pops up.
