Kinetics have released a row of great singles during the last two years. Last month they collected the best of the songs and released them on an EP together with a couple of new tracks. Listen here to two of the tunes with the band’s grand-sounding, melodic and uplifting indie pop.

I am glad to see that Magnus Fagernäs, aka MANKKU [mancko] is back with a new single. It’s the blues-vibing “Guld & Silver” he presents us, while announcing more singles soon and a new album further on.

Aeld is a duo consisting of the artist Anna Lindvall and the mathematician and engineer Lars Mats. Last month they released their debut EP “Snygga Ögon”, a different, fascinating record which spans over catchy, melodic synth pop tunes to experimental electronica with analogue-sounding, dark, muffled synths. They write that it’s primarily a collaboration over distance where for example the title track was written while one of them was in Japan and the other one on Öland in Sweden. Taste two of the songs here below.

In May Albin Eidhagen took his guitar, an organ and some recording equipment and found a spot at Pite River in the north of Sweden. Together with Rebecca Lundholm they recorded three songs beside the northern giant and are now presenting them one by one as music videos. The atmosphere, the light, the colours in harmony with the interaction and immersion from Albin and Rebecca make this magical. Even though it’s May the northern chill still lingers in the air, the light is sparse, as if the landscape is charging for the long summer days to come, but the two artists are glowing of warmth. Here are the two first songs from the session.

The band Hagaliden’s new album “Inget är vårt” certainly deserves a place in the sun this summer. With beautiful pop melodies dressed in a sound that breathes of the Swedish seventies, and lyrics that deliver poetic face slaps to the political generation that went inside and closed the door, the band is glowing on this record. Here are a few songs from the album.
