Britta Persson is heading to France in March: 03/20 - Festival Les Femmes s'en Mêlent, Paris 03/21 - Festival Les Femmes s'en Mêlent, Paris 03/22 - Mars En Braconne Festival, Vindelle
Even though it's her third effort so far, Current Affair Medium Rare was my first ever encounter with Britta Persson . It immediately and completely swept me off my feet with its clever lyrics and great melodies, and - as much as I hate to pick a favorite - is probably the best album of year for me. ~ Britta Persson - "Big Fuss" ~ While not quite as great as superioryouareinferior , Rae Spoon's Love Is a Hunter [...]

Britta Persson - "Some Girls Some Boys" Britta Persson is very good at writing about the confusing romantic stalemates that can occur between a pair of awkward, shy, emotionally reserved people. In previous songs, such as the lovely "At 7," she came at this from a more frustrated perspective, but in "Some Girls Some Boys," she's clear-headed and patient, waiting out the confusion and ready for the moments of genuine communication and connection. The form of the song follows its emotional arc - the verses are pensive and vaguely uncomfortable, ruminating on what could be [...]

Britta Persson : Toast To M - Vidéo
A sueca Britta Persson lançou recentemente seu terceiro álbum de inéditas intitulado Current Affair Medium Rare . Seu disco se encontra disponível somente na Escandinávia, mesmo assim o disco não deixou de ser difundido pelo mundo através da internet. O disco já está no seu segundo single, "Toast to M" : "um brinde dedicado à alguém que vivia no seu bairro", declara Persson. O primeiro single foi "Meet a Bear" , uma das mais bonitas do disco.

An indie pop sensation in her home country of Sweden, Britta Persson has just released her third album, Current Affair Medium Rare- which is currently only available in Scandinavia. The second single from the album is called "Toast To M." It is an effervescent song, sinisterly singing about suicide, that rides that border between pop [...]
"Toast to M" is oddly cheery sounding for a song about suicide, but I suppose that's the point. It's about making peace, not wallowing in misery. It's also an obvious standout on Britta Persson 's new record "Current affair medium rare" , which is one of three great new Swedish albums out this season, all fairly obvious picks from established artists. As with the others, one of Britta's best qualities is her consistent progression -- she abandoned straightforward girl-with-a-guitar based songwriting with previous album "Kill Hollywood me" and has now gone further into rhythm-heavy composition, [...]
Another mix inspired by autumn, and perhaps a bit of a bribe for the lack of proper updates. Although you should all be used to that by now. The tracks are the following: Magic Bullets - "A Day Not So Far Off" Backwords - "And Then Sigh" Britta Persson - "Toast To M" Lilies On Mars - "Electric Fits" Doug Hoyer - "Lakes Of Mars" The Hope Slide - "The Westward Pull" The Sweet Hurt [...]
Dags för twittervju igen, som vanligt max 140 tecken per svar. Denna vecka med Britta Persson som för större delen av svenska folket är okänd. Konstigt eftersom hon gör underbar pop-musik. Tidigare i september släppte hon sin tredje platta Current Affair Medium Rare och den finns tillgänglig på Spotify . Vem är du? Jag är Britta Persson och är mycket yngre än man kan tro om man bara hör namnet. Gör musik och tycker det är väldigt spännande och givande. Vad har du gjort sen [...]
From her MySpace page CURRENT AFFAIR MEDIUM RARE Release date: (Scandinavia + Finland) September 8th 1st Single Meet a Bear . Released (Scandinavia + Finland) June 14th Selective Notes/Razzia With the risk of sounding like I just became a parent, or that I'm a member of Oasis, I'd like to say that Current Affair Medium Rare is one of the best albums in a long time. It's true, it's true! I don't want to describe the music in words or using references [...]
Britta Persson som alldeles nyligen släppt skivan Current Affair Medium Rare , kommer nu i höst och vinter att bege sig ut på en landsomfattande turné. Så här tycker hon själv om det hela: "Å, va kul att få komma ut! Jag har varit instängd nu i snart två år för att göra den här skivan. För att fira det ska jag med mitt nya bästa, gulligaste och hårdaste band ge mig ut på en kort releaseturné nu i september för att sedan göra en längre sverigeturné i november. Jag skulle vilja förklara varför det [...]

Britta Persson - "Meet A Bear" The melody of the first single from Britta Persson's forthcoming third album seems to roll out, like a string unfurling from a ball of yarn. It's not totally graceful, but it comes out soft and smooth, so much that you might miss the non sequitur that gives the song its title. She starts off the chorus by stating that she would like to "meet a bear before I die," but then goes on about wanting to help a teenage girl break up with some guy who made her feel more adult. [...]

Sweden's indie pop singer/songwriter Britta Persson sent us a message about this new record she's just releasing called Current Affair Medium Rare and the second single from the effort, "Some Girls Some Boys". This song follows the album's lead single "Meet A Bear", which hit the digital world a bit ago. "Some Girls" is a [...]
I'm not going into semantics here on what defines a geek (or geek vs. a nerd for that matter) . Everyone knows what a geek is, and frankly, geek chic is still in. Not surprising, since everyone is going techy. You have to have at least some basic technical knowledge to maneuver the ins and out of the modern society and juggle duties between email, twitter, and your many many iPhone apps. Since everyone belongs to the Geek Generation now, I dedicate my list to the continued rise of geek chic. And since every song in the world is a [...]
Depois de uma edição bombada em 2008 ( foi lá que tudo começou, lembra? ), o festival recifense No Ar Coquetel Molotov parece disposto a fazer uma festa ainda mais bacana esse ano (e que podia ter ficado ainda melhor: Grizzly Bear, Lykke Li e Mogwai por pouco não vieram). Além dos três franceses - Sébastien Tellier , Zombie Zombie e Fracois Virot - anunciados anteriormente por esse blog , foram divulgadas na semana passada as tradicionais atrações suecas do evento. Loney Dear , Britta Persson [...]
