Swedish Music - New Music

New Music: Zara Larsson

Not much is out from this lady. She won Sweden’s Got Talent when she was ten, and now she’s a bit older it seems certain she’ll get a contract sooner or later. Check out here.

New Music: Nord & Syd

I wish this had English lyrics because it’s a beautiful sound. Alas we’ll have to live with the Swedish version, which is stunningly dark and atmospheric. Check out here.

My favourite twins have a new track

Saint Lou Lou can do no wrong in my eyes. This collaboration with Goldroom is lovely.

New Music: The Amplifetes

One of my tracks of the week. Swedish electro that goes along the lines of early Miike Snow stuff. Check out here.

New Music: Death In The Afternoon

Lots of great dream pop coming in this week, and this is no exception from Swedish group Death In The Afternoon. Check out here.

New Music: Julia Vero

Track of the week. A huge, epic and raw electro sound from Sweden. Check out here.

First Watch: Caligola ‘I Want You’

One of the quirkier bands to come out of Sweden this year, this new clip by Caligola is drenched in 90’s funk.

New Music: Sandra Kolstad

This took a couple of listens to get in to but there’s no denying that the voice is pretty special. Check out here.

First Watch: Elliphant ‘Down On Life’

Cool new video from Sweden’s most promising new musical hipster of late, Elliphant.

Swedish hip hop

Do I understand it? No. Does that take away from it’s fierceness? No. This is Lilla Namo.

First Watch: Mr Bubblehead ‘Burgers N Fries’

Ah the Swedes… I don’t know what else to say. I would usually run away from tracks with titles like these but this is actually a pretty good bit of disco by Mr Bubblehead, and the video’s cool! The EP is out now.

First Listen: Kate Boy ‘In Your Eyes’

Loving this folk/electro clash track from Kate Boy. Epic!

First Watch: Amanda Fondell ‘Bastard’

This track by Amanda Fondell has been getting a lot of buzz in Scandinavia, probably because of it’s title. And it’s bubblegum brashness one of the many reasons I’m so drawn to music from the region. I feel like bursting into giggles when the chorus kicks in- but isn’t that what pop is so good for?
