Jennie Abrahamson – “Wolf”

Here’s Jennie Abrahamson with her new single “Wolf”, a song that is taken from her latest album “Gemini Gemini”, which was released in Spring. A beautiful, ambient pop song with a Kate Bush-vibing chorus.

Systemet – “Välkommen till fördomen”

Dark lyrics about a gray land but with colourful music. Yesterday the trio Systemet released the album “Välkommen till fördomen”, 11 songs with a quite unique sound where they blend analogue-sounding retro synths with melodic, straight guitar pop. A strong album with quite a few memorable lines. Here’s the starting track “Killarna mot tjejerna”:

Manifestet – “Rännstenens kungar”

Manifestet, Jonas Carping’s and Martin Karlsson’s common project, released their second singel in June.  It’s called “Rännstenens kungar” a spicy and tasty song which, according to Jonas, is about dancing on the edge of destruction, to do what you want to do without caring about what others are saying:

We’ve met Jonas Carping before as a solo artist and in The Glade. Now he’s created a new project, “Manifestet”, together with Martin Karlsson, and released the debut single.

Joe Fiddle – “Where I’ll Spend My Years”

Joe Fiddle, or Joe Nyström which is his real name, comes from Älvsbyn in the north of Sweden.

In the Autumn he’ll release his first record “Where I’ll Spend My Years”, and serves us a taste here with this single, “Where I’ll Spend My Years”, a song that has vibes of Bob Dylan and Tallest Man On Earth.
