Sweet Offering from The Sweet Serenades
Mar 9th
The Sweet Serenades‘ new song “Die Young” actually kind of suits their name as it is a sweet (albeit bitterly so) duet with Club 8 singer Karolina about the dangers of falling in love with a one night stand. Apparently it was featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, but what upcoming-yet-already-popular-in-the-blog-world band hasn’t been featured on that show? I just hope The Sweet Serenades don’t suffer the same fate as Imogen Heap who I used to adore but can’t listen to anymore without imagining Marissa and Ryan from The O.C. pouting over whatever injustice their upper-class lives have inflicted upon them (or the SNL skit it resulted in, but at least that one was kind of funny). No, do the song justice and listen to it without having it tainted by the context of some American soap drama. And if you simply must have something to watch while listening, then check out the cute video:
“Die Young” is available on The Sweet Serenades debut album Balcony Cigarettes (a previously posted track from said album can still be found here).
New Track From The Radio Dept.
May 6th
The Radio Dept. are releasing a new 3 track single on June 4th, “Freddie and The Trojan Horse”. You can already download the lead track for free though, thanks to the band’s label, Labrador.
The song, which is about “the untruthfulness of the Swedish right-wing government and how the leading party seized power by portraying itself as supportive of the workers”, is the first taste from the up-coming album “Clinging To A Scheme” due to be out on September 10.
By the way – “Freddie” = Fredrik Reinfeldt, Sweden’s Prime Minister.
Free Sambassadeur Single
Aug 29th
Swedish pop gems Sambassadeur are returning to the music scene with a “new luxurious sound” according to their label, Labrador. Sounding more polished and elegant, the band are offering their new single “Subtle Changes” (a reference to their new sound, perhaps?) as a free download.
Check it out, it’s really pretty.
