My favorite of their new album Portico. I am super bummed that I will have to miss their show on May 3rd. I love that this band is from Jönköping. The lovely Swedish town I celebrated New Years in this year. If you love dream pop but are tired of all the similar sounding female vocals check out Mary Onettes.

Another one from Göteborg’s Luxury Records, Call me’s “Disclosed” is reminiscent of the vocal stylings of the Cocteau Twins, with the back beats of The Knife. When I first clicked, I thought oh this sounds like the knife, then the vocals kicked in and I was in utter bliss. The piano within the song is just beautiful! Dreamy, absolutely dreamy,I want to go on a journey through song.

Recommended by Brother Oblivious, recommended this awesome synth pop shoegazing goodness from Stockholm.  Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. “You Burn” is featured on their album released earlier this year “Chiaroscuro”; art history term to define the contrast between light and dark. I can definitely hear it within this album as some songs make me want to get up and move and others make me want to drown into a bed full of pillows. I just found out they are playing NYC next week and will try to see them at Mercury Lounge. I have plans for their Rough Trade show but you should definitely try and check them out!

To honor the 25th anniversary of “The Look” two days ago, I am featuring Roxette. A childhood fave of Brother Oblivious and I. I find it incredible that I haven’t listened to this song in years and I still remember the lyrics. New Karaoke song? Maybe…”She goes na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na…she’s got the look”

Signed to Gothenburg’s Luxury Records, School is a dream pop delight! They remind me of one of my other new favorites Blessa out of the UK. (check them out if you haven’t already) School is teasing me with just three songs on Soundcloud. I also give them props on their tv show tastes.

How can a song so sad be so beautiful…more like hauntingly beautiful. That is how I would describe Alice Boman’s first single off her new EP. The first time I listened, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to smile or cry. I was merely captivated and I hope you are too.

American Pop and R&B singers…watch and learn. Not only is she beautiful, her voice is magnificent. I’ve always been a sucker for a song with a good beat! Would it be wrong to call her the Swedish Beyonce?

Oh check this one out too…

Absolutely positively one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Brother Oblivious beat me to posting this song, so I delayed my posting by two days. It’s been 7 years too long since Weeping Willows released an album and it’s well worth the wait. If you like Trashcan Sinatras, let Weeping Willows grace your ears with beautiful melodies and captivating lyrics.

Just as their name suggests, this lil poppy song will have you dancing for days. Hailing for a suburb outside of Stockholm, Those Dancing Days is indie pop goodness. Also, while researching them I found out that they were picked personally by my favorite Belle and Sebastian to play their Bowlie Weekender festival in 2010. If they are alright by Stuart, they are alright by me! Now get ready to dance your socks off!

Love love love this song. It’s a great mix of indie pop and dance. She was recommended to me by my friend Tina, but I had found her the day before. I am so happy to have stumbled upon this beautiful dancey masterpiece. Her EP “Truth Serum” released on March 3rd. It features great songs like “Habits” and “Out of Mind” It’s the perfect breakup music to blast! Click below to experience the greatness that is Tove Lo.
