Presenting: Kommun

As alerted by Jerry Bowman, the members of Sibiria have started a new band called Kommun who, despite the Swedish name, sing in English. Check 'em out at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kommunswe

Top 10s for 2006: Staff picks

Sibiria
Inom familjen
Hybris

It's always hard when an album comes out at the end of the year, and how to judge it. However, it clicked with me with last weekend when I was riding on the train and just staring out into the space beyond the window. Winter is almost here, it's a cold and overcast fall day and Sibiria has just released easily the most devastatingly beautiful record of the year. Tracks like "Det har varit svårare", "Kompistjyv" and "Inte prata med främlingar" instantly struck chords with me; and the instrumental "Paria" is downright gorgeous. Actually, everything about this release is just beautiful. Congratulations Sibiria, you have created one of the best indiepop albums of the year.
