The indie rock band Class of Kill’em High, hailing from Norrköping, impressed me a couple of years ago. So it’s great to see that they’re back with a new two-track single, and that they’re also planning a few more sinlges before they release their debut album. Here’s “Big Sleep”.

Here’s a couple of songs from Simian Ghost’s EP “Autumn Slowmo”, which was released just in the end of last year. A great EP, which finishes with the wonderful “Dizzy Spells”, a new favourite of mine.

The duo David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors in The Deer Tracks are back with the third and last part of their album trilogy in that they released “The Archer Trilogy Pt. 3” a week ago. It’s a very beautiful, snow sparkling journey from minimalistic, magical ambiences to exuberant arena fanfares. Sweet, creative and unmistakably The Deer Tracks. Here are two tracks from the album.

Behind the acronym [SEK] we find Sophia Ersson. She’s played before with artists like Säkert!, Titiyo, Marit Bergman amogn others, and also been a member of the bands Sheasheashea and Som. A couple of weeks ago she released the EP “Bergen”, the first songs she has written in Swedish according to herself.

It’s a record that at first sight feels like melancholic Swedish pop of today, but when you have entered the the well-arranged pop-living room, it’s not as tidy as you would have thought. Sophia has created her own kind of room and do whatever she likes; throws fine string pillows for us to rest in, drapes with melodies in different colours, spreads lego-beats around to trip on and tells her story with a voice that at first seems fragile, but that grows confident, like if she’s climbed her mountain and calmly views below what has been, turns her head around and considers where she’s going.

In a way the EP feels more of a taste of what’s to come, rather than a complete album, like a teaser of what she’s able to do. And we don’t have to wait long for a follow-up, as the EP?  “Fall” is scheduled for release on the first of March.

Roth is a Stockholm duo with the two members Julia and Gustav Roth. In December they released their first single “Kings of the Wild”. They call it warm folk pop, which is easy to agree with. A summery and uplifting acoustic indie song.
