Today I’m starting a series of posts with music from 2014 I haven’t had the time to publish yet. Well, new releases and even some older from last year will join the ride too. The stream of new music to my inbox has increased dramatically since a year back and it feels like I’m only scratching the surface. Rather than letting them go I feel I want to present as much as I can of this music, music I love just as much as everything else I’ve showed you earlier. So, less text and more music for a while now, which is hardly a problem I believe. I’m starting today with electro pop and music in the vicinity of this genre.
The duo For BDK with a dark, melodic and grand electro pop. They released the debut album “For Body Drugs & Kicks” May 30th. Here are two earlier tracks:
Here’s a new single from Sameblod, “Suddenly”:
The trio Me The Tiger’s latest single “As We Really Are” is one of the songs that has affected me most this year. I can see in the singer Gabriella Åström’s eyes what the song is about; in the resignation, in the discomfort as she walks across empty school yards, in the sadness. When the chorus starts, marked with distorted tom punches like echoes from a broken soul, it’s like being punched by frustration and anger, punches that make their way to my heart and turn into sympathy. The strongest I’ve heard so far from Me The Tiger. The band write about the song:
The band’s songwriter Tobias has been working several years with young people who have dropped out of school and that have lived with various forms of mental illness during large parts of their lives. ”As We Really Are” is their story about being outside the normal society, about being tossed between authorities without any results and about being seen meerely as a number in the statistics with little hope for the future.
“Open Casket” is the name of the band Albakin’s beautiful debut single, a “tale about lost teenage dreams and a longing for getting out in the world”.
The producer duo Iberia, Alexander Palmestål and Maja Milner (singer and songwriter in Makthaverskan), released their debut album earlier this Spring. Here are two songs from the album:
Playful, laidback synth pop from Callenberg in the single “Obie, I Hope You’re Right”:
Instrumental rock electronica from Till Death:
Soul vibes from the eighties in “At Night I Dream” from Urban Ninjas:
Dödens Dal have invited their favourite singers to add vocals to Dödens Dal’s songs from the latest album “Korsa Jord, Luft, Is”, which will end up in a new album to be released in the Autumn. First up is Jenny Wilson in the song “Under lager av is”:
More great synth pop from Social Ambitions in the latest single “Judgement Day”
Peter Wickström isn’t just good at interviewing artists or at being a great singing coach, he’s also an artist and a songwriter to be reckoned with, which he shows in the latest single “Let the Rain Fall”:
And here’s a couple of songs from the electronica duon Sameblod and their EP “Swoon”, which was released in the beginning of summer. Beautiful, colourful and grand.

On their way towards the albumet “Braided Memos” which will be released April 20th, the duo Sameblod have released the song “Loud” as a first taste. And “Loud” certainly deserves it’s name in this bombastic electronica pop. It still echoes in my room and my chair is vibrating from the deep bass.
You can follow Sameblod on Facebook and on Tumblr. The first EP they made last year is available on Bandcamp.
