Call me – Change (Piano Version)

So there are two versions of this song, the synth poppy greatness that got first grabbed my  attention a few months ago and a piano version.  Just ethereal vocals and beautiful simplistic piano, Call Me’s new song change is magnificently glorious.  For a whole week I debated what version I was going to post and finally decided to go with the piano version.  It’s raw, lovely and hits me in my little heart.

School – So Long

~ swedesaresweet ~ Leave a comment

I love School, and no I am not talking about the educational institution. I’m talking about the amazing band out of Göteborg. I wrote about School back in April when I first started my blog, but they are another band like Blessa from Sheffield that I can’t get enough of. They are also another band who puts out teasers making me want more. I was fumbling around at work trying to figure out what to listen to and I hit random and their song “So Long” came on. I know we are only half way through the years but I already know this will make my top of 2014. I am always scared to hear live recordings out of fear the band won’t sound great. But School sounds amazing. Identical to what their recordings sound like. I love it so much, I hope you can read the excitement and passion in my voice!

I’ve been waiting to talk about Mountain Bird for the video to be available in the United States…hint hint.  But I can wait no longer to introduce this dreamy pop band to you lovely people who read my blog.  I seriously can’t believe this song is the product of one person.  Beautifully breathy vocals, and atmospheric sounds make this  song amazing.  Check out the beautiful track

Westkust – Summer 3D

Not any offense to my friends with bands in Brooklyn, but I really wish that I lived in Göteborg when I hear a band like Westkust.  They are currently working on a new album and I can’t wait to hear what they have in store for us.  Many of you know my hesitation when I read something is shoe gaze.  I’d like to say this is a wonderful blend of twee, shoe gaze and dream pop.
