This darling Dane will be releasing her self-titled debut while in Austin, on March 15. Nanna Oland Fabricius (see, it's just easier to call her by her middle name) is quite the multitalent, writing, singing and playing nearly every instrument on her electro-pop debut. She was signed at SXSW in 2009 and has recently been getting much buzz with single "Sun of a Gun." Expect a lot of sass and a lot of fun from this exciting newcomer. Recommended for fans of Goldfrapp, Florence & the Machine, Sia and Lykke Li. — Stephanie Benson
