Spotify in the US: first impressions
First of all, it sounds good and works more or less as-advertised aside from a few small hiccups. The ads are minimally intrusive and I can easily see how nice it would be on a mobile device, though I'm not a gadget guy by any stretch of the imagination. On the other hand, I find it incredibly annoying that I can't search by label. Unless there's something I'm missing? It's also annoying that a Sweden-based music service would be so lacking so much classic Swedish music (examples abound, but Ebba Grön is notably absent for one, along with much of Popsicle's discography), but of course that's the fault of short-sighted major labels, not the service itself. Overall I'd say the experience is good though, despite my complaints. The Bear Quartet's entire catalog is available along with most everything else from every other decent current Swedish indie label. Can't beat that. Will I shell out for the premium service? Eh, doubtful but we'll see.
Loney Dear - My heart
There's a brand new Loney Dear song streaming at Stereogum called "My heart": https://stereogum.com/763571/loney-dear-my-heart/mp3s/
Look for the new album "Hall music" to be released on October 4 via in US, in Europe.
Mange Makers - Fest hos mange (video)
Just in case you have set to subject yourself to Sweden's most potently annoying summer pop anthem of 2011. Required viewing!
Little Big Adventure - WOW
Something nice and new from Little Big Adventure.
Stockholm belongs to us - A Labrador Records compilation
Swedish indiepop label has a new 22-track comp/label sampler they are giving away as a free download: https://www.labrador.se/stockholm/
New music from Tellusian (ex-Crowpath)
Ex-Crowpath act Tellusian is streaming two new tunes at Bandcamp: https://tellusian.bandcamp.com/
If you liked the former, you'll probably dig this as well. A bit too ADHD for me though.
Erik Enocksson - I
New music from Swedish artist/composer Erik Enocksson from his new LP "Apan", just released via . Very different from what came before, but not in a bad way, not at all.
Gnucci Banana - Famalam jam
Sadly unavailable via Spotify here in the US (yes I have it now and yes, I am predictably disappointed by the fact that many major Scandinavian artists are unavailable to me thanks to major label short-sightedness), but thankfully available for streaming via SoundCloud. Get yr sommarplåga on!
