Produced by fellow Stockholmer Tobias Froberg (Theresa Andersson , Peter Moren ), third album from Swedish folk/pop chanteuse Sofia Talvik may have taken well over a year to finally get a U.S. release, but we're of the mind that the modest, simple pleasures derived make Jonestown well worth the wait. Talvik possesses a deceptively airy voice that seems lit with a special inner warmth even as she [...]

I've got a confession: I think Justin Timberlake has talent. Lots of it. That isn't to say I actually listen to him very much, but he seems to be able to make popular culture work for him, rather than just being swept along like so many other hitmakers. The guy's got charisma to spare, and with the inevitable Dick in a Box spin-off season coming up soon, why not celebrate his many hits?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I've actually been feeling thankful this year, imagine that. But it's true. For the past couple of years, I think my ability to feel truly grateful had been muted by my depression. But this year I'm doing much better, my family is doing well and, well, we have a lot to be thankful for. What are you thankful for? I'm feeling extra thankful for my husband this year. He puts up with a lot from me and I don't think I tell him often enough how much I appreciate his [...]

Myspace // "Just Behind a Brickwall" [Audio] So today is Halloween, the day of costumes and candy, and since it's Friday, lots and lots of parties. I'll leave the partying to everyone else this year and just stay home and watch a few scary movies. I am not sure what Swedish musician Tobias Froberg has to do with Halloween, but this autumn he is in the midst of a somewhat abbreviated US jaunt that is wrapping up in [...]

CMJ is going on strong, so that means plenty of shows heading towards NYC or on their way back. Either way, more for us in the IA region. Like always, Thursday has plenty to see. Forget the British Invasion of the '60s. The 2000s are having a Swedish invasion. Tonight and tomorrow, you can catch three of the best singer-songwriters Sweden has to offer. Ane Brun and Tobias Froberg are joined by former native Theresa Andersson , now calling New [...]

It's that time of year again, when bands both big and small converge upon New York City for a debaucherous , music-filled five days...that's right we're talking about the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon. Spanning Oct. 21 to Oct. 25, there's just too much to see. We'll do our best...this isn't our full time job. Come on! (in Gob voice.) Stark has enjoyed watching certain acts from all over the nation strive for immediate, Black Kids-like fame. Alas, they're not all that lucky. From Nashville to Chicago to NYC, Stark has highlighted [...]

Now, with your third album Turn Heads , you've produced it yourself and have slew of great musical guests from your own father to Peter Morén , Teitur and Theresa Andersson . How do you do it? Tobias Fröberg : Well, if you mean how I get these musicians to be a part of my record, the [...]

I love this time of the year. The colour of the countryside, the leaves beneath your feet, the chill in the wind, the search for conkers, harvest time and of course Halloween. I only wish them corporate shitheads would leave us in peace and Autumn tranquility by keeping Christmas wrapped up until December!

A friend told me about Theresa Andersson the other day and I am definitely impressed with the video below for "Birds Fly Away" , along with another one here for "Na Na Na" , both of which were recorded in her kitchen. Anyway, check out the video and mp3 below, plus some upcoming tour dates and her new album, Hummingbird, Go! , out now via Basin Street . [...]
Tobias Froberg - discovering America - will America discover him? Like the host of a party, Sweden's own Tobias Froberg, invited his friends along to the sessions that eventually resulted in his latest album Turn Heads (Cheap Lullaby Records, 2008). Joined by the likes of fellow troubadour Teitur, Ane Brun, Matthias Blomdahl, Peter Moren and Britain's own Kathryn Williams, amongst many others, Tobias...
