The more I listen to Ms. Henrik the more compelled I become with him. This is the new video to his single, and it’s weird and awkward but seems to make sense. To me, anyway.

New Music: Amason
I’ve been looking for a Soundcloud link to this track for a week and now I’ve finally found one! Track of the week. This is Amason. Or more precisely, a Swedish supergroup consisting of this lot… Check out here.
- Pontus Winnberg [Miike Snow]
- Nils Törnqvist and Petter Winnberg [Little Majorette]
- Gustaf Ejstes [Dungen]
- Amanda Hollingby [Idiot Wind]
First Watch: VAZ ‘Let It Rest’
I can’t get enough of these two quirky Swedes. It’s the kind of pop music that keeps things interesting.

New Music: Ms. Henrik
This is a bit different. It’s Swedish electro but it sounds like nothing I’ve heard before. I’m not sure what it sounds like, but I really love the sound! Check out here.
Ask Embla
I had no idea that this Scandinavian duo were behind Shontelle’s ‘Impossible’. I learn something new on Scandipop every time I go on there. Anyway, their new track is brilliant.
New Music: Sportsman
Gorgeous and uplifting Swedish sound that blends a soft piano with a calm beat in a very current way. Check out here.
Free Download: The Royal Concept ‘World On Fire’
One of the biggest ‘buzz bands’ coming out of Sweden right now, The Royal Concept are giving this as a free download. It’s fun.
Give Elliphant’s EP a spin…
One of my favourite Swedish newcomers from 2012 has an EP out well deserves a listen.
New Music: Nervous Nellie
Dark Swedish indie pop. Still manages to sound cute somehow. Check out here.
New Music: Thomas Stenström
It’s that time again when I wish a song was in English so I could understand it a little more. This is from the Swedish Thomas Stenström. Check out here.
New Music: Erik Segerstedt
Swedish pop from a singer who’ll be taking part in next month’s Melodifestivalen (i.e. Scandinavian stardom is close by)! Check out here.
First Listen: Miriam Bryant ‘Push Play’
What a long way Miriam Bryant’s come from being featured what only seems like yesterday. She’s been touted as “Sweden’s biggest breakthrough artist of 2013” by Sweden’s biggest magazine Aftonbladet, as well as landing top 40 on the German airplay chart’s and #11 on the club-charts with her debut single “Finders Keepers”.
Now she’s got a new single and it’s predictably brilliant. It’s already out in Scandinavia and I’m pretty sure it’ll be out worldwide soon. I’m so excited with this lady…
First Listen: The Deer Tracks ‘Lazarus’
Track of the week. Alfitude wouldn’t be the same without this kind of music being featured. Brilliant, uplifting Swedish electropop. Check out The Deer Tracks.
First Listen: The Fiery Paino ‘Scene From A Science Fictional Love Story’
A pleasant enough poppy indie track from Sweden’s The Fiery Piano, who were first featured back in September 2011. Long time!
Walking in your footsteps
Well this is nice… It’s a new track from Swedish indie outfit Shout Out Louds.
Frida Sundemo – Snow (Materikaa Remix)
My favourite Swedish singer of the moment Frida Sundemo has got herself a brilliant remix by one of my favourite Swedish bands of late, Materikaa. Just about the best thing I’ve played all day. Listen to it here!
First Watch: Adam Tensta & Elliphant ‘Rat In The Snow’
I’m starting the week with two Swedish heavyweights. One one side you’ve got the Scandinavian rap institution that is Adam Tensta and on the other you have the fierce, up and coming electro/indie starlet Elliphant. Together they’ve come up with some seriously dirty, dark beats that are simply wicked.
