New Music: Mmm
First Listen: Thorunn Antonia ‘Electrify My Heart’
Something Swedish for Monday
One of my favourite Swedish indie pop bands of late have a new video which is nice and happy. It’s not English- but who cares?
New Music: Lukas Lyrestam
This London-based Swede makes some pretty special disco. Check out here.
New Music: Kid Astray
Free Download: Mercedes ‘Airwave Hustle’
This can’t get any more Neneh Cherry if it tried- but that’s a good thing. There’s been considerable buzz for Mercedes, and now the Camden/ Copenhagen girl is signed to Warner Music Publishing in the USA and recording new music with producers including Robbie Lamond (Devlin, Katy B), Breakage (Jess Mills, Roots Manuva) and WoZ (Black Butter) for release throughout 2013. Grab a free download of this track here.
First Listen: Gus By Heart ‘The Last Place’
Something nice and mellow to wind the weekend down from Gus By Heart. He released his debut EP ‘Rather Be Singing Than Thinking’ on October 10th and this is the second single from it.
New Music: Sin Cos Tan
High grade, sleek Finnish electro pop. Check out here.
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
New Music: TjH87

New Music: Ditt Inre
Mellow Swedish pop. Check out here.
New Music: ColorKaleido
Track of the week. It’s a bit strange, but this has been a very strange week anyway so this fits well. It’s very cute Danish indie that keeps you hooked right to the end. Check out here.
