Smooth grooves from Natten to take you into the weekend. No much a dancey hit but something to chill to as we go into the weekend after a long week of work.
Sweden
The Concretes – Knck Knck
I’ve waited a while to post this since my first Throwback Thursday was a Concretes song. I can’t explain how much I love this song. I also may have overplayed it on a few days. One thing I adore about the Concretes is the relatable twist of lyrics. Unless you listen closely you won’t hear it. You think their songs mean one thing, but after a few listens you realize it’s something different. Knck Knck is a perfect example. Give it a try, I’d love to hear what you guys think.
Tove Lo – Thousand Miles
A few weeks ago Tove Lo released a new song, and tonight I will get to see her perform. She is on the rise to become an international pop sensation as VH1 has featured her as as one of their artist to know. This makes me super happy because she was one of the first artists that I featured on the blog. You can pre-order the album on iTunes now.
Korallreven – Death Is Not For Us
Korallreven is returning with a new album to fulfill all your synth pop wants and needs. “Death Is Not For Us” features a dancey beat with tribal landscape sound. Look out for their new album “Second Comin” which is being released November 4th which will feature a song with I Break Horses’ Maria Lindén.
Vildhjärta/na – Lydia
Dreamy pop from Vildhjärta/na to start off your Monday. Don’t let the visually stimulating video distract you too much as you slave away at your jobs. I’m very excited to hear more for these guys.
Throwback Thursday – The Knife – One Hit
On Monday night, I was preparing my dinner and this song came on. It clicked in my head that I haven’t featured the Knife quite enough, and how I am sad that they are coming to an end. One of the best live shows I have ever had the chance to see. If you don’t believe me, they have plenty of their performances on Youtube.
José González – This is How We Walk On The Moon
It’s been a while since we heard from the man who covered “Heartbeats” by the Knife. He’s now come back with a cover of Arthur Russell’s “This is How We Walk on the Moon” and its just as smooth and simple as Jose’s other work. He’s brought back his magical voice to give life to a song that is often overlooked.
Oh My O – Diggin Deep
Their second album was released back and April and I am so happy to have found this today so I can spread the word just a few months later. I couldn’t find a video for the song “Dance to Our Heartbeats” that danced its way into our heart, but I was able to dig deep and find “Diggin Deep” to add some joy to all your ears.
Wallenberg – Dark Caberet
Keep the dancing going with Wallenberg from Stockholm. Artsy, dance worthy electro-pop.
Niva – Change of Weather
Electro pop Friday is back with Niva from Stockholm. Smooth ambient grooves, no so much dance but still perfect to start off your weekend.
