Check out my blog for the history of 'Svenskt' including a diary of our week in Stockholm!
Purchase 'Svenskt' now for just £5 (reduced from £7!).
Svenskt is a compilation of Swedish music, released via the Oxford, England
based Big Scary Monsters label on
16th October 2006. It will be available to pre-order from the middle of September and
we'll be running a few promotions and giveaways to coincide, so check back soon for more
on those.
We decided to put it together because we're yet to find a bad band from Sweden, this is
simply as many of our favourites as one CD could hold. There are many many others well
deserving of your time and ears, a list of just some of them can be found on the
left.
Above you will notice there are a few tracks from the CD available to stream. Come back
again because we'll probably chop and change them about in the run up to the release, and
just like Aerosmith, you don't want to miss a thing.
See below for the tracklisting and photos of the bands beautiful faces. Be sure to check
out each of their Myspace pages and sample their musical delights. There's something for
everyone here, ranging from the beautiful soundscapes of Jeniferever and
Ef, the wonderfully moving sounds of Last Days of April and Logh,
the delightful pop of Moonbabies and Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, the
spiky post-punk from Traktor and The Sound OE, and so much more. Seriously,
give yourself a break and listen to the sounds of Sweden.
If, after reading and listening to this, you've caught the Scandanavian musical bug yet
you find yourself stuck in the UK, I suggest you get your dancing shoes down to Tack Tack Tack in London
and/or Sweden Made Me
in Brighton.
