It’s rather fascinating to listen to Fredrik Jonasson & the Hoarse Horses. Their third EP “Kolme” was released in January this year and contains their own special pop/rock brewage, catchy and melodic, raw edges and a sound where I can hear some New Wave, Pulp, Bowie, Stone Roses and much more. I really like Fredrik’s voice which is very characteristic and fits perfectly with the rather raw sound. On this third EP they have moved away from the electronica background, which was the base before, to a more guitar-based sound.

You can find Fredrik Jonasson & the Hoarse Horses’ headquarters on their site. You can also visit their Bandcamp page to listen to “Kolme” and the earlier releases. Here are two songs from “Kolme”:

The Stockholm band Good Morning June sounds surprisingly mature for being so young (the members are 19 years old). With a mellow indie pop that reminds me somewhat of Radiohead, they are now underway with the release of their debut EP. It’s said to be released on the 20th of April.

You can find Good Morning June on Myspace. Here’s “Rule Your Body”:

Wallenberg is a project that is run by Paulina Wallenberg-Olsson in cooperation with various musicians and artists. Recently the EP “Red In the House of White” was released, and you can listen to a track from the EP here below.

On the surface it can be described as a minimalistic, alternative electronica, where I, without hearing a direct likeness, get associations to Lykke Li. There’s an innocent, naive feeling to it all, where of course also the images, the art and the clothes play a part. The red and the white, check patterns, elephants, some eastern vibes give a feeling of mystique like it’s a riddle I should try to solve somehow.

You can listen to the EP on Wallenberg’s Bandcamp page and on the Myspace page.

Today I’ll show you some music from Yamon Yamons debut album, “Wilderlessness”, which was released in January this year. They present their indie pop, where the airy massive guitars and the nice guitar melodies are in focus.
