BAND CRUSH: Northern Spies

Hey guys! Check out this amazing indie-pop act from Stockholm, Sweden- Astrid a. k. a. Northern Spies. She plays calming indie-pop tunes in sweet acoustic numbers.

BAND CRUSH: Horrible Houses

Garage-folk in lo-fi. Delicious! I really dont mind the bad audio quality this act produces but Horrible Houses is definitely my new Swede delight.

He's currently released a two-track cassette under Zeon Light Kasset which includes this awesome track called Dead Surfer’s Valentine

and Terror Cassette

MUST WATCH: Animal by Miike Snow

I really have big problems with catchy songs- they tend to stick in my head as I randomly sing the lines in any given place and time. This song is not an exemption. Animal was one of the best tracks that was released in 2009 and also part of my LSS playlist of the year. I just realized how I easily fall in love with bands who can make me bop my head with just the first few beats of their songs and Miike Snow perfected that.
