Hildur Victoria's classic-sounding name comes from a band member's great-grandmother. They were originally going to be called Herringbone, but that reminded drummer Jeremy Hanson -- also of Tapes 'n Tapes -- too much of ska band Fishbone. So instead, that's what Hildur Victoria named their 2009 EP.

Since then, the band has made the Twin Cities swoon with Maggie Lane's breathy mezzo-falsetto and the rest of the band's lush instrumentation and moody ambiance. Hildur Victoria's first self-titled LP comes out on April 2nd on vinyl.

Songs performed: "Space Blanket," "Bunny Valley," and "Ghost."
