So I was in Stockholm over the weekend. It wasn’t as eventful as usual, but then that was a little bit intentional. I didn’t get to immerse myself too much in music this time, but this caught my attention. It’s Swedish hip hop (I’m feeling very hip hop this month), and it’s pretty good. Check out here.
If you’d have asked this time what pop music would sound like in 2014, I would have said it would be like this track from Charli XCX. This is so good.
A lo-fi, airy Swedish sound. So much potential with this. Check out here.
It’s the same music video, but performed with a different song on each clip. Both from emerging Swedish newcomers, Ms. Henrik and H.M. Hammarin. Is it just me or is Gothenburg rapidly become a Swedish hipster hub? Kinda cool…
This is one of those back-track posts when I notice I haven’t featured someone I thought I did. Anyway, these Swedes have actually been around for years, and they make that infectious Scandi electro pop sound that makes you happy to dance to. Check out here.
Tooji had an ill-fated spell representing Norway for Eurovision last year. It was a brave song that sadly didn’t fare too well in the Final. Anyway, this track should set him on a new musical path that he deserves. Its a pop song that is simply epic in scale. Check out here.
A rich and warm yet fragile sound. Check out here.
Great Swedish indie shoe gaze. Check out here.
Feel good pop from Sweden. Check out here.
Cute Icelandic pop. Check out here.
The Amplifetes are one of those bands who I don’t really know much about but wish I had more time for. This is their latest single and it sounds like Miike Snow on a happy day.
Gorgeous and adorably cute Swedish sounds. Check out here.
Swedish indie that makes you wish you were stuck in a cabin in a Scandinavian forest somewhere. Check out here.
