I need some help here from my brother because this reminds me of someone he introduced me to in the early 2000’s and I can’t pinpoint it. But since I can’t pinpoint it at the moment, I will just say this is some good stuff. I stumbled upon it on Soundcloud which has become my favorite source for finding awesome music. Folky goodness with dreamy vocals filled with beauty, and mystique. Let the Mermaid captivate you.
I love the cello and I also love Linnea Olsson. I’ll have to wait to feature a song with her cello playing another time. Her recently released video for her song “Breaking and Shaking” is a pop spectacular. In this song she incorporates guitar and drums rather than the use of her cello. Her sweet vocals and the percussion beat make me want to get up dance shake and clap like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. This song is magnificent.
Sometimes I get in the mood for a little pop punk. Actually, this has been the only version of “Happy” that I have been able to listen to multiple times. Add in a fun time video full of silly dance moves and you get my attention. Monday Kills from Jönköping, takes the song and adds a little pop rock twist making it listen worthy in my opinion. Good job guys!
I had Hello Saferide on my Throwback Thursday list, but you can’t imagine how excited I got last week when I was writing my blog to find she released a new song. Her six year hiatus was well worth it. This is a simply divine fun pop song!
My brother featured this the other day so I held off in order to not double up. The always beautiful and amazing iamamiwhoami brings us a yet another new gorgeous video. The song is also wonderful!
Throwback Thursday again, and today to a band that I always seem to forget that they are Swedish. This could possibly because they sound like they come straight out of the U.K. But nope they are Swedish. Their sound blends elements of rock, brit pop, soul, garage rock and pop to create something great and fun. Their sassiness makes me want to dance.
Yesterday, I posted the side project of Leo and Alice so I might as well feature the actual band they came from since their recently released a video from their single “Abyss” released last year.
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.
Last year, I tried learning Swedish along with my lovely friend Jackie. Lucky for her, she is in Sweden now and attending Swedish School. As for me, the only phrase I will remember is “Du är bäst!”
Moving on…I rarely post something in Swedish since I don’t understand the lyrics, but this is one song I can’t pass up. I really wished I knew what they were saying because the song is awesome.
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!
