It's been almost three years since we've heard from Penny Century , the Östersund-by-way-of-Stockholm northern soul sextet that first caught our ears in 2004 with their self-produced demos. Finally emerging from hibernation, the band brings us "Friends and family" , an 11-song, melodic-pop meditation on the nature of relationships. Singer Julia Hanberg and instrumentalist Jimmy Halvarsson chatted with It's a Trap! about the state of the arts in Sweden, surprise late-night calls, and what it takes to make a record about relationships without driving a band off [...]
A pesar de llevar algo menos de un mes de este 2011, son ya varias las novedades discográficas que hemos anunciado para este año, algunas de mayor relevancia y otras más prescindibles, pero por fin ha llegado el momento de revelar una de esas noticias que siempre anhelamos, como es el lanzamiento de un nuevo disco por parte de uno de nuestros grupos favoritos, Penny Century, sobre los que ya os hemos ido informado convenientemente cada vez que publicaban algo nuevo. El disco, que lleva por nombre Friends And Family, verá la [...]
I've raved about the wonderful Swedish band - Penny Century before , and have a bit of news - they've five UK dates in April - woo hoo!. Tuesday, April 14 - Sunderland, The White Room Wednesday, April 15 - Glasgow, Nice N' Sleazy Thursday, April 16 - Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Arts Centre Friday, April 17 - London, The Enterprise Saturday, April 18 - London, TBC It's a while since Penny Century graced my headphones, and they sound even better than I remembered - Lovely, catchy, melodic indie-pop... I said previously, but [...]
Ya me he referido en un par de ocasiones a Penny Century, banda sueca que nos sorprendía el año 2007 con su extraordinario disco "Between a Hundred Lies", y que ahora regresan con otro magnífico trabajo, un Ep llamado "Valencia". El Ep comienza con la canción que le da nombre, que es sin duda la más pegadiza, la que engancha más fácilmente, pero no por ello la única que está bien, al contrario, las cinco canciones que lo integran son realmente buenas, con mucho ritmo y constantes armonías vocales chico/chica, que ganan enteros conforme aumentan las escuchas.

Ok, Erik from Penny Century got back to me about why the ep's not out here, but is in Thailand... seems the album Between a Hundred Lies was released there by Jointt Corp. (can't find much about 'em, but they've signed a few European bands) and did pretty well - so much so that they were due to play the Bangkok 100 Rock Festival , with a planned appearance on the main stage on the second day, alongside Ash & Manic Street Preachers, among others - wow!. The festival was cancelled due to [...]
Penny Century have got a few blogging ears waggling before now, but there's been a long wait for more music, unless you live in their native Sweden & got to see 'em in person. The last release was an album - 'Between A Hundred Lies' in 2007 on Letterbox Records ( buy ), which followed four ep's. Very pleasing then, to find they've a raft of new songs to be streamed at their website and myspace . Seems there's a 5-track ep 'Valencia' out, although oddly it's only released in Thailand so [...]
So I missed out on (yet) another Entakt concert tonight, as I'm staying at home looking after the children. I did plenty of whining last week , so really no point in repeating that. But the next three weeks until the concert in Vanløse , you bet I'll be checking every road for black cats before crossing, because the last thing I want to happen is that I miss out on that one as well. And please no cancellation due to a sore throat, the drummer breaking his finger(s), [...]
So, here it is, the 2007 17 Seconds' Festive Fifty. These are my favourite new tracks to be heard this year. They didn't have to be singles or even have been commercially released this year, indeed there are some tracks that are b-sides, album only tracks, and mp3s only, and even a demo and an unsigned band. But they couldn't have been from previous years (which is why The Shins' Phantom Limb isn't here, it was an mp3 last year, made it into my inaugural Festive Fifty, and therefore isn't here). Just stuff IMHO that has made my [...]
Half an hour of folky pop bliss. Penny Century have just released their album Between A Hundred Lies . Based in Östersund, Sweden, a town in northern Sweden, the sextet have come up with 10 songs with a heavy sixties feel, none of which breaks the four minute mark. It is a stylish and sweet album, with snatches of violin and smart use of brass to boot. Penny Century have delivered the soundtrack for a late afternoon picnic. Open a bottle of chilled white wine and play it one more time. [...]

Penny Century - Fiver
I am excited to premiere a new track today from Penny Century , still one of my absolute favorite Swedish indiepop acts and yet somehow, still also currently unsigned. But let's not dwell on that travesty and instead dig into the music, a track entitled "Fiver" which they describe as "perhaps not the most radio-friendly song," but one that best exemplifies the "difference between this album and the last." Which is not to say that the difference is really all that drastic, but "Fiver" does indeed show a much [...]

MP3: Penny Century - Valencia
More and more bands are beginning to understand the value of giving away their music for free, but honestly, how much of it is actually worth downloading? Chances are you haven't noticed, but I've really tried to pare down on the amount of crap I post so it's more quality, not quantity. Even still, I can barely keep up with it all so I know the majority of readers are likewise behind the curve. Swedish indie act Penny Century posted a free EP last month , but it took me weeks to give it a thorough listen [...]

svenska indie pop rockar fett...just not for us.
Due to a ticketing snafu, we were left out in the cold, unable to see El Perro Del Mar and Lykee Li at the El Ray. Tough break. And while many adventures were had this evening, none were musical in nature. Although for what it's worth, I did learn the fine art of gangster rap Mario Brothers. So, in lieu of ACTUAL content -- like you come here for that anyway...here's a playlist of Swedish chicks we think rock...even if they are prettier than we are. Tip: [...]

Penny Century: Between a Hundred Lies
Based in Ostertsund, Sweden, Penny Century has a knack for writing catchy tunes. They cite some of their influences being Belle & Sebastian, Bruce Springsteen , and Rilo Kiley. However, describing their own sound is no easy task. With each song, they deftly move from folksy tunes to 60's influenced compositions and flat-out Country/Western [...]
