Since releasing his BRILLIANT self-titled debut album back in 2008, I've been eagerly awaiting new material from 29 year old Aussie-born/U.S. & UK based singer/songwriter Sam Sparro . Well folks, that moment has FINALLY arrived. " The Shallow End " is the first tease of new stuff from Sparro, who's sophomore record, Return To Paradise , is due for release in May via EMI . HALLELUJAH ! I'm uncertain, whether or not [...]
Soms moet je keuzes maken. Twee weken geleden ging ik na weken van blaffend hoesten, slecht slapen en heel veel niezen naar de huisarts. Longontsteking was zijn conclusie. En dat betekende een antibioticakuur en veel rust. Even wennen, aangezien ik bijna nooit ziek ben en van afspraak naar afspraak hol. Ik heb een week thuis [...]
![[LP] Penguin Prison – PENGUIN PRISON (w/ every Penguin Prison track TBE has ever posted)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3957882_lg.jpg)
i got a car that i call jenny, i take her out when there's too much noise in my head ♫ Penguin Prison - A Funny Thing [from 2009 ] ♫ Penguin Prison - The Worse It Gets [from 2010 ] The October 18th release of Penguin Prison's self-titled debut is interesting for a couple reasons. The first thing is that I didn't know it came out until 6 weeks late. And I think the second thing is directly tied to the 1st. Penguin Prison has been around so [...]
25. Erik Hassle - Are You Leaving Working with the guys from Kent was a genius move. The atmosphere, combined with incredible songwriting, make this one of his best. 24. Swingfly - Me & My Drum The most rousing track in this year's Melodifestivalen, I just don't see how anyone couldn't enjoy this. It's [...]
Erik Hassle's " Hurtful " is easily one of the best pop ballads of the last couple of years. Combining a heartfelt, relatable sentiment with an instantly hooky melody, "Hurtful" is pure pop gold that unfortunately failed to catch on in the U.S. in a big way. But not to worry. The Swedish crooner is back in the studio diligently working on new material that should be unleashed in 2012. In the meantime, self-proclaimed "electro chip-pop-revolutionary" Zalza has taken on "Hurtful" and given the song his signature make-over. "I really like the song but I wanted to add [...]
A funny thing happened a few weeks ago as I was putting together my post Amazing Things I'm Listening to From Sweden, Vol. 5 . There was so much amazing fucking music from Sweden that I literally died. And then I was brought back to life in time to write Vol. 6 of my ongoing series, Amazing Things I'm Listening to From Sweden. You're welcome. John Dahlbäck - One Last Ride [feat. Erik Hassle] (Radio Edit) It is an incontrovertible truth that everything [...]
Big release from Pretty Lights headlining this week's edition of #FreshFridays. Also in the mix, a previously unreleased LA Riots rework, a heavy hitter from Kids At The Bar and Digiraatii, a new single from Kaskade, and Dim Mak's Felix Cartal's take on 'One Last Ride'. And I threw in an old Robyn track for kicks. Enjoy. Pretty Lights - I Know The Truth MSTRKRFT ft. N.O.R.E. - Bounce (LA Riots Unreleased Remix) Kids At The Bar & Digiraatii - Soy Sauce [...]
Fact: The Swedes are a superhuman race sent from the future to make amazing pop music. Due to this undeniable truth, Swedish pop stars you've never heard of snatch wigs from your favorite pop stars for fun — just because they can. In my ongoing series, Amazing Things I'm Listening to From Sweden, I review the best Swedish exports that are currently blowing up the charts (i.e., getting blasted at ear-splitting volume in my apartment).

I really don't care if these are old, I just discovered them and it would be a crime to not share these with the world (if y'all haven't heard them yet). Seriously this woman has the voice of an angel. One of the keys to my soft side is a woman that can sing (ahem...cough cough) and Miss Goulding's style hits me just right.

Erik Hassle is no stranger to sexy tracks. If this buzz single is a snippet of what we are getting for his second album, then it's going to be a great year! Here, Erik Hassle does what he does best, merging school-house rock with lyrics of longing. Much like our favorite "Wanna Be Loved," Hassle manages to emulate true emotions of love and attachment whilst being a rock star. This song has the power to get you up out of your seat to play air guitar and it has the power to make you cry. It's a lovely confection. [...]

Fact: In Sweden, it is illegal to make bad music. Okay, so this may not be empirically true, but it is a reality that the Swedes are known for exporting pop of the very highest quality. In my ongoing series, Amazing Things I'm Listening to From Sweden, I discuss the best Scandipop that's been quietly slaying your faves. Andreas Wijk - Like My Style Andreas Wijk is a Swedish fashion blogger and model who looks like, well, a Swedish fashion blogger and model. (Photographic evidence [...]
It seems as if EPs have enjoyed a sort of resurgence in the last few years. Many up-and-coming artists are opting to release a string of them rather than a full album. It allows for more music more often and caters to today's ADD culture. Luckily for Erik Hassle, whatever he releases is going to be worth hearing.. EP or album. And this is a particularly interesting release because it's a collaboration between Hassle and two members of HUGE Swedish rock band Kent. 1. Are You [...]
Erik Hassle - Are you leaving [stream] Apparently Swedish up and coming star Erik Hassle listened to and was inspired by the Swedish Boot Mafia remixes and decided to take the electro path on his new EP - on which he collaborates with Swedish mega-popular band Kent , btw. This is HOT, kitties. Scout's honour!
"We know we ain't never gonna happen" This is Erik Hassle's next single. Is it just me, or does this sound like something that could hit really big in the UK indie circle? Not so sure about America (it doesn't have a guest rapper, after all), but this sounds kind of similar to Noah & The Whale's new album, which seems to be doing quite well in the UK. Stay Away is far less electronic than Are You Leaving , but just as dark and propulsive. That chorus (and the haunting background vocals) [...]
