Kind of weird to watch this video without actually hearing Refused, but it does bridge the gap between Dyno and Closer. I dig it! Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UrEQGuOlSU

Andreas Söderlund's debut solo single from the upcoming album of the same name. It won't sound unfamiliar to anyone who knows his work with Niccokick or Sounds Like Violence, but it's not like that's a bad thing. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7oPxid5OQ

Susanne Sundfør's "The brothel" was NPR's song of the day on June 28: https://n.pr/ahtSRJ
