First Listen: Lissi Dancefloor Disaster ‘Singing My Heart Out’
Mix a formula with some vintage The Knife, some current Robyn and a little Miike Snow, and you get this track. It is pretty spectacular. This is the new song from Swedish lady Lissi Dancefloor Disaster.
New Music: The Sweet Serenades
A hazy Saturday afternoon…
This feels right for now, so here it is. It’s a beautiful little Swedish summer track by MaiNekk and Linnea Henriksson.
New Music: Smash Into Pieces
This is starting to be a very rock-heavy week on Alfitude, I’ve come to realise. Anyway, these Swedish rockers have signed a deal with Sony, so worldwide fame may be due shortly. Check out here.

So this Swedish group were previously famous in their home country for this track, but after a change in lead singer they have a new sound which is pretty special. I am really loving this acoustic video, Check out here.

Jens Lekman
I should really have written something about Jens Lekman in these last couple of the years. He ticks all the boxes for me, but I’ve never felt compelled to up until now. I remember seeing him live while working for a music venue back in 2006 and I thought he was brilliant and boring in equal measures, but six years later I think I’m finally growing to like his simple lyrics and catchy riffs.
First Watch: Heart Machine Service ‘In An Ambulance’
Norman Doray ‘Cracks’ (feat. Andreas Moe)
Swedish Disco
Here, have some Swedish disco to get you ready for your Friday evening, by Jonas Rathsman.
An unexpectedly good Frank Ocean cover…
This is by Alex Saidac, a name that’s starting to get some good buzz in the Swedish pop world. Not what I would have expected from a Frank Ocean song, but it’s nice.
New Music: Anna von Hausswolff
The Swedish music industry is going nuts over this little lady- and you can see why when you start listening to that huge, powerful voice. Check out here.
New Music: Yohio
The above, is a 17-year old Swedish boy who likes to dress like a doll, sing in Japanese and play rock. He’s getting absolutely huge in Japan. Incredible! Check out here.
New Music: Cornelia
Quirky, jazzy Swedish pop. Interestingly, this is self-released through the advice of Swedish queen of pop, Robyn. Check out here.
Cheesy Swedish electropop, anyone?
I want to hate this, I really do. But I just can’t… So bloody cheesy and awful. And brilliant. It’s by the Playmen.
A really good remix of a ‘The Knife’ track…
New Music: Sebjak
Fibes, Oh Fibes!
Fibes, Oh Fibes! new album, called… Album, has been getting mixed reviews from the blog world but I personally am a huge fan. So it’s good news to me that they are finally getting a UK release.
