Sweet Serenades released earlier this year a very strong debut album, “Balcony Cigarettes”. It contains a bunch of contagious songs with high humming factor. It’s playful, romantic, melodic, dramatic in a modern indie pop which let their roots shine through.

Coming from Timrå, Martin Nordvall and Mathias Näslund formed Sweet Serenades in 2002. Among the numerous gigs since the start, they have frequently performed in Swedish prisons. They have tested their songs on the internees and, as they say, thrown away songs that haven’t provoked any dance, cries, tears or riots.
