Here’s Last Lynx with a new single, “Lacuna”, a laidback soulpop track with a similar vibe to it as in “Killing Switch”, which I wrote about earlier this year. Listen for yourself.

The duo White Birches, Fredrik Jonassson and Jenny Gabrielsson Mare, yesterday released another taste of the upcoming EP. “Stands of White Birches” is the name of the song, the beautifully ominous ambience breathes of Depeche Mode, and it seems like the high expectations on the EP, I got from the first single “End of the Line“, will be met.

Here’s a new band from Stockholm, Locals, who’s just released their first single. “Millions of Ghosts” is the name of the song and presents som quite pleasant, catchy indie pop. They write:

Behind a black door in a Stockholm subway station we find the heart of Locals. Concrete and plywood walls meet Portland, sunglasses and the melancholy Swedish cold. The band are the creators behind Stockholm’s new club sound that sounds classic indie meet an electronic dream world.

Here’s another band who’s returning after a longer period of absence. It’s KallocaiN, hailing from Norrköping, who’s announcing a new album in Spring with the release of this single with the songs Birds and the Bees” and “Walls”. They surprise me a bit with “Birds and the Bees”, a seemingly languishing, classic rock ballad with echoes from the eighties, but which they still turn into their own indie-sounding atmosphere.

In Spring I told you about Karin Ström’s project with songs about cities that have a special meaning for her. She continued releasing songs from the project this Autumn, the latest one “Montreal”, a warm song about her father and her relation to him. I just had to include the last single also, the beautiful “Stockholm”, which was released in September .

I våras berättade jag om Karin Ströms projekt med låtar om städer som har haft en speciell betydelse för henne. Under hösten har hon fortsatt projektet, nu senast med den nya singeln “Montreal”, en varm låt som handlar om hennes pappa och deras relation. Kan inte låta bli att ta med den förra singeln också, den vackra “Stockholm”, som kom ut tidigare under hösten.
