Swedish Music - NEW MUSIC

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?

New Music: We Are She

New wave/disco and indie from Sweden. Check out here.

New Music: The New Truster

Power pop with an indie sound from Sweden. Check out here.

Free Download: Miriam Bryant ‘Raised in rain (Reprise)’

I can’t tell you how excited I am about sharing this. It’s a new acoustic track from one of the standout newcomers to come out of Sweden this year (in my opinion).

Pearl Fiction + Niki And The Dove + Sound Of Arrows

This is cute. New track from Pearl Fiction and featuring two super hot Swedish bands: Niki And The Dove and Sound Of Arrows.

New Music: Otto Knows

Uplifting house from Sweden. Check out here.

First Watch: Frida Sundemo ‘Indigo’

Just as I’m about to head to bed I see a status update on Facebook for Frida Sundemo’s new video. I love the video, I love the track and I love Frida. I don’t have much else to add really. The whole thing’s just so cute.

Simon Emanuel / Niklas von Arnold- Visionär

If you can’t understand Swedish you won’t get this, but it’s a really good RnB track from Simon Emanuel that deserves a listen. Niklas von Arnold is behind one of my favourite tracks of 2012- give it a spin if you like (it’s in English!)
