Smycken - Marble slabz
New music from Smycken, coming soon via . Appears to be angling for the Altered Zones crowd; not necessarily a good look. Direct link: https://vimeo.com/16516878

The Radio Dept. - Never follow suit (Never swallow fruit dub by Pistol Disco)
I am ambivalent about The Radio Dept. at best, but give me a dubbed-out Pistol Disco b-side remix of "Never follow suit" and I'm happy: https://tinyurl.com/278mqbp

Tejbz - To tha face (video)
Apparently this is a big deal in Sweden right now and spreading, but it's been completely outside my radar until now. Very much not my thing, but anyhow, good luck to Tejbz in becoming the Basshunter of pop-punk. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3JZjElZG2c
Life Before Man @ Absolut Noise
Absolut Noise has a new track up from Life Before Man, a long-running/never-documented Swedish indie act featuring my friend Mattias from Culkin/KVLR: https://absolutnoise.blogspot.com/2010/11/internet-killed-tape-stars.html
If you dig noisy guitar-driven indie (such as Mattias' other/previous bands), you will dig this. I do.
Under Byen - Unoder (video)
Pitchfork has Under Byen's creepy new video for "Unoder": https://pitchfork.com/tv/#/musicvideo/9926-under-byen-unoder-paper-bag
Shame that the music isn't more compelling to go with the visuals.
Scraps of Tape - Circles end here (video)
Check out footage of Scraps of Tape performing a brand new track at their rehearsal space in Malmö. Direct link: https://www.vimeo.com/16447927
Her Bright Skies - Little Miss Obvious (video)
I don't totally hate this, though I much prefer Jimmy Eat World's version of the same sound circa 10 years ago. Still, as far as -related is concerned, this is perfectly acceptable modern pop/rock radio fodder.
