We sure hope the indie genre never dies because Selmer is delivering some quality tunes lately. With an advanced fashion sense, the Oslo-based artist certainly knows how to make a grand entrance with his esteemed indie pop goodness. If you haven’t heard of this class act yet, treat yourself to Selmer’s nostalgic new single, “Before You Marry A Person.”
