My favorite Swedish Psych-rock band will release a new album in September. “Hide from the Sun” is the first track off their new album. Hearing this and from what my friends had said, I am really sad that I had to miss their show due to a work obligation. If you don’t know who Goat is, you should really look into their previous album. Their background is as interesting as their music.

Simian Ghost – Never Really Knew
Sparkly happy indie pop! Such beautiful lyrics and such a fun video. The song gives me a bright colorful feeling of happiness.
Mountain Bird – The Visitor
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

Stars in a Coma – Tricks
I can’t explain how excited I get when I find fun Swedish pop music. Stars in a Coma is the epitome of that. They make me want to dance and just give me an overall happy feeling. I’m bummed that I missed them last month when they played New York,
But I’ll just listen to their songs to make me feel better. Dance and clap and have a good time.
Cape Lion – Brother
This song is more addicting now that I listen to it again to write the blog about it. There is an intensity brought forth when watching this alluringly foggy roomed video. One word to describe this song is captivating.
Little Dragon – Paris
So it’s taken me a while to decide what Little Dragon song to feature. But I finally made a choice. Paris is being featured since it involves two of my favorite things…Paris and Swedish Electro pop. I have been sitting at my desk swaying my body. Love this band!
Nina Persson – Food for the Beast
I will never pass up a chance to feature one of my favorite artists, Nina Persson. And what can I say about her second video “Food for the Beast” from her solo album Animal Heart? First of all, it’s artistically awesome. The visual aspects of it are amazing. I just keep watching it. The song is awesome and is a perfect example of why she is one of my favorites. Relatable lyrics, awesome beats and catchy rhythms! She’s the best and can do no wrong in my eyes!
Also, if this is not enough Nina for you. Read my past dedication to her…My Ode to Nina Persson
jj – All White Everything
I am so glad I waited to post jj. All White Everything is their latest release and an album is currently in the works. From everything I’ve heard from jj this by far has to be one of the best songs they have done. It’s beautiful and entrancing, if the rest of the album is like this we are all in for a treat. Check out this beautifully creepy video below.
Throwback Thursday – The Radio Dept. – Pulling Our Weight
This one is dedicated to Reid of Sacramento. The Radio Dept. is a lovely band from Lund who of course is signed to the amazing Labrador records. Just like this video, this song puts you into a lovely dream state. It was hard to pick a song because they are all amazing. I decided on this one because I love the video and I just imagine myself sitting on my couch on a Sunday afternoon reading a book while listening to it. Chill musical perfection!
Ellen Sundberg – Headlights
Yesterday I posted who I felt was First Aid Kit’s cousin, well today I post First Aid Kits stepsister. Folksy greatness reminiscent of Bob Dylan. She also covers Suzanne by Leonard Cohen. Beautifully sung simplistic lyrics are a treat for you ears.
Swedes are Sweet
