It’s my BFF’s birthday and in true Swedes are Sweet fashion, I dedicate my blog to those in my life whose special day it is by posting their favorite Swedish song. Sahara Hotnights are just as rocking as she is. Happy Birthday Punk Rock Girl!

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
All it took was someone to light a little fire under my ass to make me want to bring you guys a better blog and an easier way to enjoy the music that I love and hold dear to my heart. I dedicate hours of my time to bringing out what I feel is some of the best music in the world. This blog is my heart, my soul, this “music is my boyfriend”(To quote CSS from Brazil). I will continue to devote hours to bring you sweet sounds for all your pretty ears.
As you seen yesterday, I now have a Spotify account dedicated strictly to Swedes are Sweet. The playlists are divided into each month. I also realized not everyone has access to Spotify and you have to sign up to listen. So I have created a Souncloud account that will have playlists for you to access without having to sign up for their website. The playlists are not completed yet, but I will have them done soon. Please enjoy by clicking the link below.
Swedes are Sweet Has It’s Own Spotify Account
Last week, I quickly scrambled a playlist of songs on this site from my personal spotify account and I promised that I would soon have a break down of posts by month. So as promised, I have started breaking down the playlists by month on Spotify. It’s currently up to date and will be growing. I will include the new songs as I add them to the blog. That way if you want to listen to the music, you no longer need to head over to youtube and it’s all in one place.

Leanids – A Wildly
Folky, and absolutely beautiful. Just the right amount of folk mixed in with a little soul. I stumbled upon this on Bandcamp and I am so glad I did. The Leanids are amazing. You should give them a good listen. Perfect for a lazy day on your couch or to make the time at work pass by.
Les Big Byrd – Anywhere but Here
This week has been off to an exciting start with new music by some of my favorites. Les Big Byrd has released an awesome new track called “Anywhere but Here” It has the hashtag of boogie and that is rather fitting. I am loving the groove of this song.
Toi let – Lord of the Ring
The side project of YAST, Toi Let from Malmö is awesome. Though their name brings thoughts of bodily wastes, their songs don’t represent that at all. They recently released their EP titled “Lord of the Ring” You can check it out on SoundCloud below.
I’m really digging the guitar in their songs. I also love the shifts between songs from fast or slow to vocals or instrumental. All and all this is a pretty solid EP for a side project. Let them take you ears on a journey they will thank you for.
