Here’s a new single with Sirena, “Lunar Lights”; a pretty pop track, electro driven an percussion heavy. It’s described as being positioned somewhere between Tove Lo and Seinabo Sey, which seems like a good comparison to me.

Johan Agebjörn continues to show us songs from his forthcoming album “Notes” (release 10/2). Today he’s releasing the single “You Passed Through” where he have collaborated with the Canadian band Young Galaxy. From the start it’s the same retro-seventies’ vibe as in the earlier “The Boy Who Thought It Was A Good Idea To Cry“, but which heads off in a different direction with the beautiful, dreamy vocals from Young Galaxy. The somg is being released together with an interesting remix from Memoryhouse.

Furthermore, a few days ago he uploaded “Careful”, also taken from the “Notes” record, this time a song collaboration together with Sally Shapiro. “The vocals were recorded in 140 bpm but were slowed down to 70 bpm to get a draggy feeling” he writes.

Ludwig och Skyltdockorna present himself as a queer artist, and on the new house-influenced pop single “Säg blev du rädd nu för mig?” it’s from this point of view he’s questioning men’s heterosexual jargon. He is challenging the constant need to label people after their sexual orientation and the necessity to fit in if you don’t want to be considered a threat to the male group. He writes that he is heterosexual himself but that he loves to dress as a woman, which makes it even more challenging for those who want to put neat little labels on people.

Here’s a new video from Alice Boman and her song “Burns”, created by film maker Christoffer Castor. He found a collection of 8mm film rolls in an abandoned cottage somewhere in the south of Sweden, filmed by some unknown person maybe 30 years ago. Some of the films were labeled “U.S.A”, which he recorded and used for this video.
