Cold Mailman – The Great Escape

Posted on by Ivar in Nordic music | 3 Comments

Tweet The Great Escape by Cold Mailman is a sweet and fragile popsong by a young unsigned artist from Norway. I could compare the song to some familiar music that we have presented here at Eardrums, but I’ll leave it to your own imagination Cold Mailman is Ivar Bowitz togheter with some friends and they start to record a album early next year.

The Lovely Eggs

Posted on by Knut in Bandprofile | 1 Comment

Tweet Sometimes I get this weird "WOW!" feeling when I hear new bands, – not often, but sometimes. It’s a lovely feeling, and for some strange reason most of the bands that WOW! me are from the UK.

Top 60 albums I’ve loved in 2007 (Knut’s unranked and far too many favorites)

It’s always frustrating to sit there for a long time and choose if this one’s better than that …

Tweet Broadcast 2000 is a multi-instrumentalist and writer/producer based in North London who recently released a fantastic debut EP called "Building Blocks". This is a clever mix between acoustic pop, electronica and probably a lot of studio wizardry, and the result is highly original. I discovered the project about a month ago, when Last.fm had a "Xmas chart attack" competition where they were going to try to take one of the competing artists to the top of the UK christmas …

Indurain – great pop from Sweden/UK

Posted on by Knut in Bandprofile, Nordic music | Comments Off

Tweet In the middle of all our Christmas posts, we just have to take a moment to just breathe a little and listen to some pure, gorgeous pop music with no christmas theme at all. Indurain is Mikko Gordon and Johan Peter Sundberg, a pop-duo from London/Stockholm. They have previously released a 3 song single on the fine Cloudberry Records, and  plan to release a 5 song EP on the equally fine South-American label Plastilina Records in March 2008. The …
