I wrote about Loud as Light in February, but then the band called themselves The Idle Hands. They made a couple of changes in the lineup and discovered also that there were another band with the same name out on the music sites, and hence changed their name.
The first release under the new name is the single “There’s a Clock”.
You’ll find Loud as Light on Myspace.
Today I’ll present some electronica with Judge Circuit, a band hailing from Sala. They released a single this fall and are planning on releasing their debut album in the beginning of 2011.
In the song “If You Only” they are visited by another Sala band, Navet (featured yesterday here on Meadowmusic), where Julia Ögren joins in with her vocals.
You can find Judge Circuit on Myspace and on Facebook.
Navet is a band that released their debut EP in spring. Four tracks of pop music with a lot of eighties’ vibes. Beautiful melodies, typical beats and synth backgrounds. They have announced a debut album coming out in November, and as a taste of that they released a single some month ago, “A Letter to You”.
Two songs, partly different in style from before, with a beautiful piano ballad as track 2. Listen to the single here below.
Visit Navet at their blog and at Myspace. On Spotify you can listen to the debut EP.
A Letter to You
What I’ve Become (Sjöbo tagning 2)
Friska Viljor is back with a new album, “For New Beginnings”. i.e. they were already last fall, but for various reasons I didn’t get around writing about it then.
They say that the album is a new start where they have left the heartaches for stories about happiness, sorrow and hope and that musically they are heading for something different.
And yes, it can be noticed, it feels a bit more serious, a little deeper. I recognize their catchy folk pop, but it’s slightly restrained, the choirs aren’t that fat as on “Tour de Hearts” and in their jumps betweeen genres I can hear new influences.
Like I said, it’s as catchy as before, the melodies sticks and the characteristic vocals are in the front.
You can find Friska Viljor on their site or on Facebook. On Spotify you can listen to all their albums.

If I Die Now (live on MTV Home):
I think that Let’s Say We Did sounds better each time I hear them. In the beginning of this year they released their debut EP and recently they released the second one, “Straight Back to You”.
The songs are better, the hooks are stronger and the sound feels more developed. It’s sounds like indie pop which they used some sandpaper on which together with the special vocals and the melodies gives a special, nice, pleasant feeling.
This EP is the second in a series of three, which later will lead to their first full length album.
You can find Let’s Say We Did on Myspace.
