Stormakten is the name of a duo that will release their first single “Söderut” in June. Sofar they have presented two songs on their Bandcamp page and it’s a nice combo of electro and indie, of synths and whining guitars. It will be interesting to listen to more songs from Stormakten in the time to come.
You can follow Stormakten on Facebook. Here’s “Söderut”:
The band Alex Carole and the Crush, hailing from Fagersta, was formed in 2009 at the initiative of the singer and guitarist Anders Pietsch, aka Alex Carole. The members came from bands like CDOASS, Bruket and The Savages.
In April they released their debut album “Vol 1.”, an album full of nice, messy rock’n’roll, sometimes with vibes from The Clash, sometimes from more contemporary indie rock.
Listen to the albumet on Spotify and follow the band at their site.
Emelie Molin and Victoria Skoglund, also members in the band Audrey, form the duo Mire Kay. Recently they released their debut EP, “Fortress”, an EP full of folk indie painting their own, beautiful, slightly mellow, soothing atmosphere in the room.
No big gestures, but soft brushstrokes of first of all cello, guitars and vocals but also with banjo, slide and stripped arrangements, which create a special feeling in the music.
You can listen to the EP on Spotify or on Bandcamp. You can also find Mire Kay on their site and on Facebook.
Johnny & I is a band from Göteborg/Vara, who recently released the EP “While You Stand Still”. They create indie rock that gets that extra emotional tension with a singer that really makes their songs stand out.

I’m going to finish this week with a couple of tracks from Acid House Kings’ latest album “Music Sounds Better With You”. This is pop so light, so light, it feels like running up in the clouds. It’s indie pop with vibes from the sixties with light, lush arrangements.
They have an almost diabolic ability to creat chorus melodies that stick between the hammer and the incus right after listening to them once. And beside these choruses they fill the songs with wellcrafted riffs, instrument lines and oh-oh-choir-melodies. How many melody hooks can a brain take in after listening to an album with ten songs? Well, try it for yourself.
You can listen on Spotify and on Soundcloud you’ll find some more tracks. You can find Acid House Kings on Facebook.
