With Shaman you are getting one of the purest forms of Epic you can possibly hope for, a true definition of the genre. - By Keith Joshua Ham

i wish that i could take you there New Urban Cone song is another example of why these Swedes are killing it right now. They release rarely (a handful of songs in 2 years), opting for quality over quantity. Take note you young bands.

Everything about this song forces you to focus on remembering to breathe. It's a lovely gem from the Swedish Alice Boman. She recorded an EP, Skisser (means "Sketches" in Swedish), in her home that was never meant to be heard except by her. Somehow the songs have made it out, consider yourself lucky.

With Summer coming soon (in this hemisphere), I thought this one by Sweden's Summer Heart captures the season: How about a creative video by the incredible Clubfeet ?

You know, I always feel a little bit guilty when I'm jamming to some great new music, but I haven't gotten the chance to post about it on here. So, to clear my conscience, I need to be telling you about Stockholm-based Postiljonen . Based on their location alone, you should be intrigued, because we all know that Sweden has something in the water that creates fantastic pop music . Postiljonen is fairly new to the game, with the trio having gotten together in 2011 and they've been steadily [...]
Earlier this year we introduced you to Swedish songstress Tove Lo and her incredible break-up anthem " Habits ." Now she has teamed up with fellow Swede and rising house producer Lucas Nord on his new track "Run On Love." The result is as amazing as a collaboration between two Scandinavian pop geniuses should be. Watch the video for the track above or just stream it below. STREAM: Lucas Nord - "Run On Love (Ft. Tove Lo)"

'Optica' sees the five piece explore [...] The post Weekend Videos: Shout Out Louds - "Illusions" appeared first on Cougar Microbes .

Rarely, if ever, has a movie's soundtrack come to characterize a subgenre as much as Drive 's has. Any artist looking to make a name in balearic dream pop has to meet the standards of this collection, namely College's defining piece, "A Real Hero (Ft. Electric Youth)." Sweden's Postiljonen would have no problem breaking into the Drive club, especially with their latest track "On The Run." The synths and airy vocals are all there, so much so that "On The Run" sounds better suited for the films we see in our sleep than a Gosling motorcycle flick. [...]
