~ First Aid Kit – “Hard Believer” ~
Though they’re usually dubbed as folk I think this song has more elements of alt country, which for a Swedish band should be completely wrong but this is gorgeous in so, so many ways.

~ David Cronenberg’s Wife – “Sweden” ~
I might as well admit that it was their name that initially made me curious. Slightly bizarre and the lyrics are pretty much just spoken yet it manages to be a pretty catchy tune. Their song “My Best Friend’s Going Out With a Girl I Like” is also really good, check out that one as well.

~ Stornoway – “I Saw You Blink” ~
Now that spring has finally arrived (although it’s pouring down outside as I type this) it’s time to listen to some spring-like songs, and that’s what this is to me: cheerful, cute and danceable indie pop.

~ The Jezabels – “Hurt Me” ~
This one is very much on edge; it feels like every instrument is tense and on the brink of breaking, which is what I love about it. As the title (might) imply, this is not a cutesy song but pretty dark and intense.

~ Therese – “Shed My Skin” ~
Beware, euro dance! Well, it’s better than that I think. Therese tends to make pretty slick house music, which is what “Shed My Skin” is. Don’t get me wrong – it’s highly disposable but a really nice listen as long as it’s still fresh.
