Tweet I’m not going to say much, other than that this is definitely my favorite new find this month, and the full "Vestibule" EP (more like an album if you ask me) is given away for free through the fine netlabel Luv Sound. Who am I talking about? The artist is called INLETS, and the main man behind the project is Sebastian Krueger. Krueger.is also playing with My Brightest Diamond (another of my absolute favorite artists). I’m not ready to … →
Tweet Some students from Södertörns högskola has made a short documentary about the Swedish band Elenette. There are some nice live sequences in the movie + interviews with the band (in Swedish, but I guess it could be interesting for more than the Swedish speaking audience). [youtube DFTjkiaED4A] …and here’s one of the many free Elenette tracks you can get at last.fm: Elenette – Kär (imaginär) pensionär
Tweet I just found this message from BMX Bandits on myspace: " BMX Bandits are doing a live radio session on Marc Riley’s Brain Surgery radio show on BBC6 Music on Tuesday 27th November. The show starts at 7pm and you can hear it online via here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/brain_surgery/" The bandits’ new album "Bee Stings" is really good, – a bit different than their previous releases, but I’m liking it a lot. Perfect Pop! Here’s a free track from their myspace, … →
Tweet This have been my favourite song this week. From whom? A great song by a scottish band named Frightened Rabbitt. “Be Less Rude” is a nice jingly-jangly indie pop song – 80s inspired offcourse, lots of indie guitars and vocals. Glasgow-based Frightened Rabbitt’s album “Sings The Greys” is available now through the UK label Hits The Fan Records. Liked it? Listen to more songs at the band’s Myspace… and be less rude, folks! Frightened Rabbit – Be Less … →
Tweet In the beginning of the year, I was super-excited about the debut EP from Scotland’s The Hermit Crabs. The "Feel Good Factor"-EP/single was a refreshment of pure pop; Catchy, Cute and Clever. The three songs on the single were all favourites of mine, and they could all have been the title track. Great songs. Now I’m sitting here with the Hermit Crabs’ debut ALBUM, "Saw You Dancing", and at first glance, – the title, the cover, the design, – … →
Tweet It is cold outside. Everything looks white, but there is no snow here yet. I guess the snow could come any day now, and just let it come! I’ve found the perfect music for days like these… Some days ago, I received a cd that has become some sort of fireplace for me in these cold times. I’m not surprised that the bandname is "Fireflies". The "band" is in fact only one person, Lisle Mitnik, who grew up in … →
Tweet This artist and this one song has made my week! "I don’t want to get over you" was originally written by The Magnetic Fields for the classic "69 Love Songs"-album, where it appears in a more upbeat pop version. Alison Eales has stripped it all down and her version is just her warm, sensitive vocals, an acoustic guitar, glockenspiel and some melodica-parts. Perfect! In my opinion, she gives the song just what it needs and the beautiful lyrics really … →
Tweet I first heard The Sad Snowman on Kirsten’s Postcard’s free tribute album for Belle and Sebastian, where he delivered an amazing stand out version of "My wandering days are over". From there, I started downloading his free EP’s from the same label, – also outstanding music. Now the project has a new song for download on myspace and last.fm, "Sea of Grass", a song that is among the best I have ever heard from the project. Fantastic! I was … →
