Newly-formed Swedish label/creative collective Ingrid (comprised of Miike Snow, Lykke Li, The Teddybears, and more) will make its debut on Record Store Day (April 21st) with a 15-track compilation, entitled Ingrid Volume 1 . Included are new songs from Li ("Come Near"), Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt ("It Won't Let You Go"), and Peter Bjorn and John's John Eriksson (who contributes "Berlin" under his Hortlax Cobra moniker). The latter two tracks, alongside a two-minute mini-mix, are streaming below (via Pitchfork ), followed by the full album tracklist. Ingrid Volym 1 Mix [soundcloud [...]
11. Cold Cave - "Confetti" At one point the Cold Cave record was possibly my favorite of the year. It just got so many things right at the perfect time: we were due for a reexamination of 902s wide-eyed teenage apocalyptic romanticism via some kind of self-conscious, unsubtle goth/industrial/synthpop revival. Heavy monosynth moongazing that's simultaneously tongue-in-cheek hilarious and dead-fucking-serious. I'm not sure everyone got the high-wire act that Cold Cave was going for here. 12. Purity Ring - "Lofticries" This is the track that [...]
If you frequent the blog a lot you've heard this many times before, but I'm going to iterate it again. We are very, very awed by the pop prowess of the inhabitants of that hallowed corner of Scandinavia known as Sweden. They never cease to amaze us. Earlier this year, we discovered Little Majorette. They're a trio made up of a singer/vocalist who is very pretty and two chill talent-bros (talented bros), who are also part of the touring ensemble of Miike Snow. They're great and poppy and addicting, like smoking crack out of a candy cane. I'm [...]
Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. Esta semana ao menos serviu para recuperar da pouca actividade musical da semana anterior. :) A semana teve início com os norte-americanos Dive e o seu delicioso "Sometime", seguido de mais um tema maravilhoso dos Blouse, "Videotapes". Por falar em coisas maravilhosas, altura
September's compilation is massive... I don't know where to start. These twenty tracks from the past month, ranging in every style from soothing folk to Halloween-themed hip-hop, offer greater diversity than usual - and it's not just due to the sheer number of tracks. New tastes on Obscure Sound have emerged with several new writers [...]
I'm considering a move to Sweden. It's not because I've decided to start an ABBA tribute band, or since my obsession with sturdy wooden furniture has become unfathomable. It's because there seems to be a tidy assortment of artists emerging from there that are incomparable to most pop scenes. Glittering electronic pop, with glimpses into [...]

Photography by: Leigh Ellexson Little Majorette - Bite The Bullet (Le Prix Remix) For those of you who don't know, Little Majorette are a pop-trio from Stockholm, Sweden that consist of band members Zoe Durrant, Peter Winnberg, and Nils Tornqvist. Although their music is relatively new to my ears, I can already tell that they are a band that I will be following a lot in the future. Sounding like a cross between Metric and Metronomy, Little Majorette create an atmosphere that is captivatingly unique. Pairing up catchy lyrics with eclectic [...]
Featuring M83, Star Slinger, and Community's Danny Pudi.

More music from Sweden. I demand more. I don't know what it is about this place, but I think a visit is in order. They consistently produce addictive, synth-pop gems that hit home for me. The latest representation is Little Majorette's "Never Be The Same". I was skeptical at first, perhaps even weirded out by the dreary, borderline haunting vocals. By the time that chorus rolls around though, I'm all ears. Give this one a chance. Oh, and buy your tickets for our first sponsored event, featuring The Knocks & Capital Cities. You'll notice I'm abusing the site with ads [...]
É incrível como a Suiça consegue a cada novo artista dar uma lição de música pop ao mundo. Conheça agora o Little Majorette , a nova banda da safra, mas ao invés de novatos, o grupo é composto por algumas pessoas já experientes no assunto. A vocalista, Zoe Durrant, fazia parte de uma outra banda suiça, enquanto Nils Tornqvist é baterista e Pontus Winnberg faz nada mais nada menos que parte do trio Miike Snow . E o primeiro single é tão incrível quanto parece. Na hora que ouvi, lembrei da primeira vez que ouvi "Sun [...]
If you like Scandinavian synth pop with moody rhythmic verses, huge epic choruses, and more hooks than Jimmy Houston's tackle box, (we totally just took it there) then you, friend, have hit some sort of song jackpot cause "Never Be the Same" is all those things, and really really well executed, an exemplar for the genre. Little Majorette - Never Be the Same Little Majorette ( Myspace ) ( Soundcloud ) ( Official ) Rating: 8.2
Click here to view the embedded video. Seductive drums and swirling whispered lyrics gently pull you into 'Never Be The Same' then with little warning the epic chorus begins with a sonic blasts of dark synths and bright twinkles of a keyboard. The video for the track is a beautiful play on lighting and set design. Simple yet completely arresting. The derelict movie house seemingly the perfect visual allegory for meaning of the song. MP3: Never Be The Same by Little Majorette
Little Majorette - Never Be The Same Little Majorette (Petter Winnberg, Zoe Durrant och Nils Törnqvist) släppte sin skiva Rifle Heart för ungefär en månad sedan. På skivan finns bland annat denna härliga poplåt, en relativt segstartad sådan men som drar igång ordentligt mot refrängen. Dessutom är låten producerad av Pontus Winnberg från Miike Snow. Ja, Petters bror. Vi bad dessutom bandet nämna fem låtar som de inte hade funnits utan och fick tillbaka en hel skiva som svar och några andra riktiga klassiker. Se nedan: Michael Jackson - Thriller (hela skivan) [...]
Little Majorette : Never Be The Same - Video
Sweden is at it again producing another great act. This time it's indie pop trio Little Majorette . They got together after working on other artists music and then liking it when they did it themselves better, so they decided to have a go at it. Glad they did cause it's lovely stuff! Here is their latest video for "Never Be the Same" , plus their mp3 for "Overflow" that I spotted on Hype Machine . Both fantastic tunes! Prepare to fall [...]
Whilst making a Spotify-playlist with Scandinavian filles (who do not sing in English, see here ), FS-regular André introduced me to Little Majorette . A band of Swedes who got together in 2007 and made a couple of EP's. Their album Rifle Heart is out now. On the last EP there's one song with a French title that's partly sung in French too. Zoe Durrant has a gorgeous voice, I'm very much into that electronic-kitschpop sound. What I've heard so far is very, very sultry. Hope Little Majorette will sing in French some more. [...]
Klaar om de muziekwereld te veroveren: Little Majorette. Sinds vorige week ligt met Rifle Heart een debuutalbum van dit Zweedse trio in de winkels, 'Never Be The Same' is de ijzersterke single.
