Those quirky Swedes they know how to make pop music, not to mention well priced do-it-yourself furnishings. Name the Pet is no exception and has been bouncing around my iPod since Christmas. So with the release of ‘Falling’, co-written by Stefan from The Sound Of Arrows, as a single in Sweden last week I feel [...]

It started out back in 1986 as a battle between Belgian and Dutch bands. Twenty-four years on and EuroSonic Noorderslag has become the most important convention of the European live-music industry and is the place to discover the acts and facts of the upcoming festival season. This otherwise peaceful student-outpost is flocked with bookers, agents, promoters, press and other animals who mingle under the influence of a well-know alcoholic beverage which comes in flashy green cans. Their sole purpose is to engage in a verging-on-the-fringes-of-ludicrous venue-hopping around town in order to attend more than 250 gigs spreading over the course ...

Denna bild är så rolig, med tanke på namnet de två har valt. Det ser verkligen ut som de trånar efter en varsin liten ponny. Kanske tänkte det så i just det ögonblicket? Vi bjöd på några låtar med dem tidigare och nu har ni här en I Always Wanted a Pony!-version på Name the [...]

Here's the new video for the Name the Pet single "American boys": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudOo_PRG7g Apparently her album is also out now in the US via Astralwerks, but I haven't heard a peep about it. Can't say I've seen much Swedish press either.

It's only Wednesday, but here's the second video of the week where a pop starlet from across the Atlantic offers up a ditty about the States. Name the Pet's "American Boys" doesn't really make clear what the singer thinks about American boys, but the videos got a bunch of hot Swedish chicks who look like American Apparel models (wait, one of them is an American Apparel model) hopping around in red white and blue, and the filter on the camera strongly recalls that dream American dudes have about permissive Europeans whenever we go abroad. Do we ...

Sweeden’s once again at the forefront of ElectroPop jams. Name The Pet is Hanna Brandén who has just dropped her self-titled début album. Wonky Pop and quirky vocals are the order of the day here.

Mikäli huomioitte edellisen postauksen hetken levyt -Spotify-listan, tässä saattaa olla jo vanhoja vinkkejä, mutta ei näitä voi jättää mainitsemattakaan. Lisää mainitsemisen arvoisia levyjä riittäisi, mutta soittolista on tehty palvelemaan huonon muistin ja ajanpuutteen aiheuttamia ongelmiani. Andrew Weatherall: A Pox on the Pioneers (Spotify-linkki) A Pox on the Pioneers pärähtää soimaan samankaltaisesti kuin Mattip:n S ave the King , mutta loppua kohden rytmit alkavat venkoilla kuin vaikkapa Vampire Weekendillä . Levy on moderni sekoitus housea, indie rockia ja teknoa, mikä ainakin meikäläiseen osui ja upposi ekalla yrityksellä. The Feelies: Crazy Rhythms (Spotify-linkki) Remasteroituna versiona vastikään julkaistu klassikko löysi tiensä soittimeeni vasta kuukausi ...
