I am so far behind with basically everything that I can almost see myself coming around the other way. I should be finishing up my first lecture of the new semester, but I just can't bear spending much more of my Saturday on a talk that most of my students are going to doze through anyway. So instead, I'm offering you a long overdue edition of A Free Man's new music recommendations. Edinburgh quintet Cancel the Astronauts is hard not to love. They make driving, electronica tinged indie pop that is guaranteed to stick in your [...]
Sweet Sweet Concorde are another great band from Sweden, another terrific release from Series Two Records and another slice of catchy hook filled indie pop. Composed of only one member named Anders, Life In The Canopy is a lovely collection of fun songs which he recorded all on his own in an apparently short period of time. All of the usual comparisons are evident ( Belle and Sebastian , Loney Dear , Erlend Øye , etc) but there also seems to be a mild hint of mid 60's psychedelia if you listen close [...]
"mr tanner" geht schweinegeil ins ohr. selbst der erste hördurchlauf inspirierte schon zum mitsingen, das abrupte ende zum sofortigen neubeginn. achtmal hintereinander. als es mit uns begann. mit mir und sweet sweet concorde . man kommt ja flott ins spinnen, wenn man nerdig vor seinem rechner hockt, immer grauer in der fresse wird, die gesichtszüge zunehmend aufgrund bewegungsmangel erlahmen und, während die äonen an einem vorbeieilen, auch noch die brillengläsern dicker werden, und meint, dies und jenes zu erkennen, nachvollziehen, analysieren zu können. reine fiktion. musik geht nur mit der dynamik ihres hörers einher. bei "mr tanner" habe ich [...]
Lo primero de todo, perdonad por el retraso, motivos laborales me han impedido acudir a mi cita con el blog con la regularidad deseada, pero en fin, ahora tengo un ratito y no voy a dejar pasar la oportunidad para comentar brevemente un grupo recien descubierto. Y aunque digo un grupo, en realidad se trata del proyecto en solitario de un sueco de Orebro llamado Anders, que bajo el nombre de Sweet Sweet Concorde graba canciones de suaves melodías que resultan de una enorme belleza. Su álbum de debut "Life in The Canopy" ha sido publicado [...]
I made a promise to myself that this year I would try to keep on top of my mailbox and post new music in a timelier manner. Well, you can see how that's going. I really need to dedicate one post a week to whatever's in my mailbox, that way it's out there and fresh, rather than gathering dust like a souvenir from a Grand Canyon trip three years ago. As usual, the mailbox dump yields a large variety of music. My pick of the litter is "Youth Against the Empire" from King of Conspiracy, a neo-punk [...]

![Sweet Sweet Concorde: The Picnic [Video Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1462341_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense Check out this lovely little video by Sweden's Sweet Sweet Concorde . It features stuffed bears and paper cutouts of trees. The group comes to us via a FensePost favorite, Series II Records, and their recent release is called Life In The Canopy . The music of Sweet Sweet Concorde is your standard indie pop, quite common in Sweden and even throughout other parts of Europe and the US. A group that immediately comes to mind is Cleveland's Bears ; [...]
