New Music: The Slytest
Swedish indie pop. The Slytest, consisting of young Swedes Dan Axelsson and Simon Larsson has had a fascination for American music since birth. The band manage to put some local colour to the recording with what in Sweden is considered “the Gothenburg sound” – indie choirs and vibrant distorted guitar melody lines in the vein of Broder Daniel and Håkan Hellström – two of Sweden’s major underground pop stars. Check out here.
New Music: Pavlov
Yes, it’s in Swedish. But it’s such a great song I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. Carries along the same veins as Oskar Linnros and Daniel Adams-Ray. Check out here.
Miike Snow show off another new track
I have a very strong feeling that Miike Snow are going to blow up this year. Everything I’ve heard is just as amazing as their debut.
New Music: Emma Lewin
Swedish pop. This would fit in to Eurovision nicely. Check out here.
Swedish country music (it’s better than it sounds…)
I think one of the reasons Swedes do music so well is that they take the best out of genres and improve on them ever so slightly. I mean, this song is country. But it sounds poppy at the same time, but it’s still really country. And I like that. Check out First Aid Kit if you like.
New Music: Coco Morier
The work behind this newcomer is pretty mind blowing. We’re talking about input on this sound from Peter Bjorn and John, and Lykke Li and Miike Snow. That’s amazing. It’s the sort of beat that oozes coolness without trying at all. Check out here.
New Music: Jasmine Kara
Take it to the top of the world
This is one of those songs that makes you think you can take on the world and come out winning. Whether you end up succeeding is another matter, but this is done with two Swedish pop superpowers and is worth having on your iTunes.
New Music: Simian Ghost
Beautifully life-affirming music from a super talented Swedish newbie. So happy to have discovered this. Check out here.
Those cheeky Swedish hiphoppers are back…
I love Ansiktet, even though they bust their vibes in Swedish which can be a bit problematic at times. The video is a bit out there but the song’s pretty awesome.
Mix a bit of Robyn with some Whitney and you get a good start to the week…
Courtesy of one of the most amazing Scandi blogs around, this will be my wake up alarm for the next week. A blend of the finest Robyn and Whitney Houston. Come on peeps, smile… Life’s good!
New Music: Ted Morris
Sounds American right? Well, it isn’t. It’s Swedish. His real name is Ted Mauritz Svensson and his sound moves swiftly round the edges of 70’s americana and Randy Newman-esque singer/songwriter moods. It’s big sounding and heartfelt. Check out here.
First Watch: La Puma ‘Hotter’
Party Swedish Style
This has been around for a really long time in Sweden but I notice I’ve never mentioned it on here. Anyway, enjoy the last Friday of 2011!
Christmas with Niki & The Dove
This is so so so cute! It’s Niki and the Dove covering Nat King Cole’s ‘The Christmas Song’. Whatever you’re doing today, and whoever it’s with- whether you’re happy or sad, worried or relaxed… Merry Christmas.
