~ Astronaut Wife – “Disco Lights” ~
Despite the title this is actually an ambient electro-ballad. Very pretty and relaxing. So yeah, no wild dancing underneath the disco lights this time.

~ The Kid – “The Shadow Of a Horse” ~
My favorite Swedish electropop band. They have a darkness to them but a good sense of humor as well, which this song is a good example of as its chorus contains a rather crude by funny expression of affection (“I’ve got cum in my hair, I wish it was yours”).

~ Kite – “My Girl And I” ~
Take whatshisname from Yvonne and Strip Music, and put him in a studio with the former lead singer of The Mo and you get Kite: gloomy synthpop with an original streak to it. I just love this song.

~ Black Tambourine – “Black Car” ~
Some good old (well, OK not that old) shoegaze: noisy guitars, soft vocals and a simple but intoxicating melody.

~ Goes Calypso – “Mitt Lund” ~
This one is certainly not for everyone. Sort of ambient and experimental but its sparse down tempo sound does the trick as it enhances the sampling of young Swedish protesters chanting “No Nazis on our streets”. Gives me the chills.
