Sad news first: A Plague Of Angels , one of the first blogs I've added to my blogroll, is closing its doors for good. Although molotov 's posts have gone from witty text to mp3-only-posts recently, his discoveries were always of high quality. I think Blogger's new deleting-policy finally got the better of Plague Of Angels , but who knows... maybe we will see the resurrection of the angels somewhen and somewhere in the future! I definitely will keep my fingers crossed! Thanks for the [...]

The new EP from My Darling You! on Luxury Records is delayed `til February, but for now let's take a look back at some of their output through the years. It's a pretty compelling catalog even if I didn't always go along for the ride. taxi driver Salary everything alright More than I thought you were capable of Jump the train Please don't talk [...]
My Darling You! will have a new EP on Luxury this coming February.
hooraffes by PETS Ever since last Tuesday I've been listening to... > The Happy Hollows ! Ever since I first listened to 'Tambourine' I fell in love. Then I found out they're giving their EP for free and fell faster. Then I listened to it and was ready to sell my soul to them. (* We like to exaggerate. It's our thing.) Download Colors or just get the 'Imaginary EP' for free here ! > [...]
Swedish indie act My Darling You! has a new website and they report that two new albums are on the way this fall: http://www.mydarlingyou.com/
I don't know much about the guys of My darling YOU! , but I'll pay attention from now on. I Will Exclude You with My Body Language is their EP from last year, featuring some awesome songs that don't really fit into the classic Swedish mold. There are hints of the communal and melodic that seem to come from the neutral land, but their lyrics are sharp, topics exciting, and songs internationally appealing. Take "Salary," the first (of 2 or 3) about the lameness of a 9-5 job (in this case one paid hourly). The longest song [...]
I've been as big a fan of My Darling YOU! as you can be. Perhaps the biggest. But their new single, "Jump The Train", is so completely unmusical that it's physically painful to listen to. I like the basic beat alright and the samples throughout, but the lack of melody or even singing in key (or in tune for god's sake) makes this hard to recommend. Here's the video for "Jump The Train" with pretty clever animation that can't hide this marred track. The 123 is for sale now [...]

Svenska skivsläpp som jag längtar efter, topp 3: 1. The Second Band - The Definite Form Med tanke på hur mycket jag lyssnat på The Second Band känns det smått osannolikt att skivan som nu släpps faktiskt är deras debutalbum. Deras tre EP:s har gått varma länge, och jag har faktiskt inte tröttnat på dem än. Jag har haft förmånen att få lyssna på tre av låtarna från nya skivan, och visst låter det hoppfullt! Två av dem finns nu på nätet: The Second [...]
Volvemos a situarnos en Suecia para hablaros de este peculiar dúo formado por Christoffer y Klas. El primero de ellos es el bajista, mientras que el segundo toca la guitarra, canta y graba los sonidos de órgano y sintetizadores. Tras haber publicado tres eps, en el año 2006 veía la luz el álbum de debut de My Darling YOU! a través de Plastilina Records . Se trata de un disco recopilatorio de su trabajo anterior, del que se puede leer una amplia reseña que hizo en su día Manuel Soleado en 360º de separación [...]
Girl Talk - Friday Night Lily Allen - Friday Night My darling YOU! - We Break Up On Friday Jens Lekman - Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo The Cure - Friday Night I'm In Love
It's time for the Friday edition of THEME SONGS . Most people I know have a special relationship with Friday, and so do musicians. There are a lot of songs written about the love and joy of Fridays, and I have collected some of them. Please comment if you like the mix or if you miss something, but before you start asking for The Cure's "Friday I'm in love", read my comment on Monday's post in the Theme series... Here are the [...]
My Darling YOU! is a fantastic Swedish pop band I discovered on the 56th page of my google search for "twee pop". Sigh. I know, I have a problem . Sadly, their EP My heart beats too fast for our friendship to last came out last year, so I completely missed the boat on this one, but in case your Swedish pop radar is as broken as mine... Mp3: We Break Up Friday - My Darling YOU! (1.11) More feel-good, bouncy pop over here [...]

We were very glad to have My darling YOU! performing to us live in Tallinn on 9th of December. And we are even happier that they agreed to answer some questions about their life and music and plans. Here is the interview, which was sent to us by Klas on behalf of My darling YOU! Thank you both! MdY! latest song was made for Christmas and was recorded by their mp3-player, it's called "i had beautiful strenght & armored heart". i had beautiful strenght & armored heart [mp3] we break [...]
I hope you all had a good time over the Festive Period. I spent a week on the Dorset/Devon borders and it was pretty quiet to say the least. I took a detour to Exmouth where I said hello to Martijn and Dimitra . Back in London I headed to How Does It feel To be Loved for the New Years Eve bash where I met a few people unknown to me before (hello). Lost Music was also there and a good time was had by one and all. Unsurprisingly I didn't listen [...]
Celestial went through the trouble of sending me their first couple of releases but I could never get fully into their lofi shoegaze sound. But with the release of their new single "Fragile Heart" on Music Is My Girlfriend I can finally say I'm onboard and what are you waiting for?! If you are a fan of Creation bands from the 80's, the softer side of Jesus and Mary chain or hazy 60's pop this will brighten your day. Fragile Heart This is the title track [...]
Klas Hermansson and Christoffer Johansson make beautiful music together. They work out of Goteborg (curse you, Blogger, for not letting me get that "o" right—okay, sorry, it's Thanksgiving, I should be nice. Happy Thanksgiving even if you're in Goteborg (incorrect spelling, as noted) and other places that don't celebrate the mastication of turkeys and the thanking of Indians for helping you survive that first bitter winter and then later taking their land. Ouch. Great songs, I've loved them for months, and now I must go and consume mass quantities while much of the world. . .hey, calm down, fella. [...]
