Here’s a single with the Stockholm quartet Project Elephant. It’s called “None of My Business” and breathes of indie rock with a nicely distorted, dark sound. This is the first release from the band since the debut EP “Exactly!”.

A little while ago Love Is A Burning Thing launched their debut album. They call it “Greatest Hits” which is not a bad name for such a good album. Electro punk they wrote somewhere about the music which is a rather fitting characterization for these eight tracks, where a hard working distorted bass plows deep furrows in the dense, black electronic soil. It feels both like retro post punk and like their very own indie electronica. Listen here below in two songs.

All That Is

Here’s a collection of singles I’ve picked up this Autumn. Quite a varied mix I believe.

All That Is – “You Are Drugs”

We’ve met Patrick Ray and the producer LJB before in the band Sidewalk, whom I’ve written about a couple of times. A little more than a year ago they started the project All That Is together, and early this Autumn the first song “You Are Drugs” was released. A new EP will follow within short.

Banana Beach – “Pelican Bay”

The quintet Banana Beach released their debut EP in Spring, “Window Licking”, and from the EP they picked out this single, “Pelican Bay”, an indie tune with dance ambitions.

Projekt Elliot – “Del 2: Sommarnattens Sång”

About two years ago I wrote about Projekt Elliot’s “Del 1: Äventyr i Lo Fi“. Now he’s back with the second part in the shape of the single “Sommarnattens Sång”, another track with acoustic Swedish pop and his characteristic glowing vocals.

Billy Fitzgerald – “Compass”

Billy Fitzgerald, aka Adam Rosenkvist, released this single a couple of months ago, “Compass”, a quiet, soft, lo fi-sounding tune with a fine melody.

Djävulen Möblerar Om – “Universum i en kub”

Malte from closed down Malte X has started a new project: Djävulen Möblerar Om. “Universum i en kub” is the first single and I recognise the music to some extent, in the punk and the rock’n’roll, but this is more garage and has a rawer sound overall. Here’s the single video.

I Love Your Lifestyle, hailing from Jönköping, released their debut EP this Autumn. They serve us six tracks with catchy pop melodies, energy and nicely rough indie rock. Here are two of them.

And here’s Canary Islands, hailing from Malmö, who today try something new, which they a bit jokingly call 3P, which means that they are presenting three songs in a single track, as if it was one single song you play through. Kind of a protest against the increasing fragmentation of music. They say that they will release one of these three times a year and they are already working on the next 3P-track. And why not? It’s not exactly radio friendly , but that doesn’t matter to us, does it? Here it is with melodic, nicely rough indie where they daringly have chosen to start with the only instrumental song of the  three.
