Line 1: {{creator\|wppage=Nephew (band)}} ~~{{work}}~~ [[File:Simon Kvamm Mikkel Elbech 2008.jpg\|thumb\|]] Nephew is a Danish rock band formed in 1996. Backed by a sound that is clearly influenced by [[Depeche Mode]] and [[~~Kraftwerk (Music)\|~~Kraftwerk]], their lyrics are a mix of Danish and English, and often sound like [[Word Salad Lyrics]] to the causal listener, although they have political messages subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) hidden in some of their songs, most notably in their latest album ''Danmark Denmark.'' Their frontman, Simon Kvamm, is probably responsible for their initial rise to fame, as his day-job as a comedian had him appear in various popular satirical shows, chief among these ''Drengene fra Angora'', which was aired around the release of the band's second album, ''USADSB''. == {{examples\|Discography: ==}} * ''Swimming Time'' (2000) * ''USA DSB'' (2004) Line 12: ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Tropes ===~~ * [[Album Title Drop]]: In the song "Hospital" for the album ''Interkom Kom Ind.'' * [[Alternative Rock]]: Musically, somewhere between this and [[Electronic Music]]. Line 22: * [[Murder Ballad]]: Several, most notably "Blå & Black." * [[Obsession Song]]: "Movie Klip," which is a song about a man who stalks his ex-girlfriend, going so far as following her to Paris and (it's implied) filming her with her new boyfriend. * [[Shout -Out]]: Quite a few to [[Depeche Mode]]. It is not unusual for their song "Movie Klip" to turn into "Personal Jesus" during live performances. * [[Soprano and Gravel]]: Inverted in the song "Blå & Black," where the female singer has a very clear example of the [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice]], compared to Simon's slightly higher and more emotional singing.
