YAST are back with a new single, the first one from their upcoming album. “When You’re Around” is the name of the tune, a love story the singer Marcus Norberg wrote to his girlfriend.

Last year Tkačuk released two brilliant single tracks I presented here on the blog. Now the corresponding EP “Borders & Land” is out. The theme of the EP is the the dark shadows of prejudice and hate that have appeared in large parts of Europe, shadows which he has vowed to battle. He does this with light, a positive spirit and a young energy which together with his creative electronica and sticky melodies make an irresistable combination. Besides the two single songs he offers two new tracks and also remixes by Gabriel Gassi and Julian Sleepover.

“Equivoke” is a new single from Here Is Your Temple. It’s a song with a wonderful, rough sound, like if they had taken a shiny, new and catchy poptack and buried it in the ground for a few years, to make it get just the right patina and rawness. Great song.

Today the band Brine, hailing from Göteborg, are releasing the video to the song “They…”, which is the second single from their album “The Night Before It Happened”. The album was released in December and is their third LP. It’s a laidback, genial indie, varying between song tracks and instrumental tracks (like in “They…”), and with a basic guitar sound coloured by a cello. The video below is created by Hilda Hallén, who takes us seal scouting. I have also added the song “Next Time West Coast”, which was the first single from the album.

After her excellen debut EP in the Autumn Feivel is now back with a new single. The song’s called “Already Standing”, a quite elegant pop track treating the subject of games we are forced to play when we are dependent on others.
