With a Name Like "Sissy Wish"...

Blow out your candles and make a Sissy Wish! Siri (above) will help you!

I stumbled across this blissful bit of Norwegian pop online (via a tip on FluxBlog) and what a sparkly, refreshing afternoon pick-me-up! Sissy Wish is the buoyant pop act brain-child of singer Siri Wålberg, and it's delightful. It's like electro (circa Stereolab) meets pop, wearing a cute pink sweater and green sneaks. The single "Float" begins with a basic enough groove, but a minute or two into it the whole thing rises up with a roll-the-car-windows-down, happily melodic zing that's darn near irresistible.

Watch a docu-video from cute Sissy Wish below (which includes some endearingly dorky dancing). And get more peppy, perky Scandinavian pop after the jump!

Siri looks "Siri-ous" in black and white.

Evidently Sissy Wish first made a splash in Norway in 2003 with the single "The Six Feet Tall," and then her 2004 debut album, You May Breathe, scored raves and became massive in her fjord-crazy homeland. And she appeared this past year at SXSW in Austin, too.

Much of the text on her site and her MySpace page is in Norwegian (which makes it seem even cuter) and if you watch Sissy Wish's videos you'll be further smitten. And on her blog posts, she thanks fans for coming to her shows... Awwwwww! Ma, can we keep her???

You can go here to buy her records and fun merch, but it's Norwegian, too. Her latest album, Beauties Never Die came out last month in Norway. Sniff it out in import music-land.

I also love Siri because she has photos of toys among her MySpace pics. Festively nerdy. Yay!
