Celebrating the best Nordic music, food and film, the Ja Ja Ja Festival arrives at London Roundhouse later this month (8-9 November). The likes of Mew, Husky Rescue, Annie and múm are all on the bill, while Denmark’s The Raveonettes‘ headline the closing night – see Jajajamusic.com for the full line-up. To get everyone up for a weekend of Scandinavian excitement the band’s Sune Rose Wagner has made us this Playlist of music with “Energy”.

“The attitude and energy is overwhelming and inspiring, it destroys everything.”
