Simon Johansson is Garbled Waves. He decided to combine his two earlier projects, Okomfortabelt and Hardstroke into one. As the names may hint, the first project had Swedish lyrics and the second one English lyrics.
Musically it’s about electronica in the first place. Electronica combined with a large dose of rock, good pop melodies and nice dynamics. It’s dark and grand and with special vocals, more downmixed than usual, but that fit perfectly in these songs, brilliantly so in a song like Schizophrenia.
You can meet Garbled Waves on Facebook where you can listen to more songs. Here are two tracks:
The artist Olof Svenblad calls himself Teleskop when he turns on his synths and produces a pop-electronica with some retro vibes.
TELESKOP may sound like as when you have been spending too much time thinking about the depths of the universe and have a hard time letting the thoughts go away, and at the same time you miss someone you like very much and it’s summer, a warm and fantastic summer and it’s in the middle of the night or early in the morning because the sky is not black but red, pink orange, blue and turquoise.

You can find Teleskop on Myspace. Here are two songs:
Pearl, earlier member of the electronica band Zeitgeist, calls himself Pearl Fiction going solo. He has released his debut single, “The Ruby Fever”, a song that breathes the eighties and Prince. Joining him on this track is Kitty Jutbring from Kitty and the K.
Baron Bane are back with their first release since “Love.Cure.All” last year, the single “Sordid Eyes”. A song where they mix different influences in a cool way. Monster Magnet-guitars that’s interwoven with electronica and it all lifts in a floating pop chorus with some grunge vibes.
In May Degrees released the EP “Pt III”, and also the predecessors, accordingly named “Pt II” and “Pt I”, was made available on the net.
Basically it’s about a warm, melodious electronica; synth pop with some strokes of indie with messy guitars. Degrees consists of the duo Mikael Jacobson and Rickard Folke, both hailing from the deep forests around Tranås, where they formed Degrees in 2008.
