Swedish Sunday :: Elias And The Wizzkids
Indie pop is a genre that’s so easy for me to fall in love with, but unfortunately also so easy for me to forget about. The bad thing about listening to a lot of music across many genres is you tend to get stuck in one genre for awhile, latching heavily onto it and tuning […]
Swedish Sunday :: Makthaverskan
I shared some of my first thoughts on Gothenburg quartet Makthaverskan’s demo material a couple months back. Their early work was admittedly quite rough and I think people probably brushed the group off, but I felt they had something special. I’ve been keeping an eye on the band since then, eager to see if my […]
Swedish Sunday :: Studio
I realized I’ve been tossing the term Balearic around quite a bit lately without much preface. Balearic is a genre of electronic music that, as its name might suggest, originated in the Balearic island region, specifically, in the beach raves and nightclubs of Ibiza in the mid-90s. It’s also sometimes referred to as Baeleric beat […]
Swedish Sunday :: The Crêpes
While we haven’t done a formal post on Swedish Balearic pop disco duo Studio (yet), if you’re a fan of El Perro Del Mar, then you are probably acquainted with their name. Rasmus Hägg is one half of Studio and lent production duties to El Perro Del Mar’s newest release, Love is Not Pop. Hägg’s […]
Swedish Sunday :: The Return of Fibes, Oh Fibes!
Fibes, Oh Fibes! were a 6-piece Swedish rock band who I became obsessed with several years back after their 2006 release, Emotional. I had completely forgotten about the group until Sheena Beaston shared some new material a few days ago. Now down to just three members and with a new album out in a few […]
Sveriges Nationaldag
Saturday was the National Day of Sweden. While our distant Scandinavian neighbors celebrated thousands of miles away, we took the weekend to discover some great new Swedish acts and will be sharing our findings throughout the week.
Fantasikrig has been on my repeat radar for several weeks now. I was lucky enough to get my hands […]
Swedish Sunday: The “Hey, check out this video” edition
We’re going to celebrate Swedish Sunday this week in the form of a little visual diversion. It’s no secret that Familjen is one of my favorite Swedes and we’ve featured him in full before. But this week I don’t want to write about him, I want to share his Swedish Grammy award-winning video for Det […]
Swedish Sunday: The Tallest Man on Earth
I got a bit behind on Swedish Sunday so I’d like to bring it back with a vengeance in the form of a double feature today. Hopefully you enjoyed Miike Snow, and now I’d like to introduce you to a Swede with deep roots in Americana.
Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth, may hail […]
