It is all about melancholy and great vocalists in this Friday’s SpaceScan, so if you are on a happy-high you do not want to have ruined be warned. Everyone else can safely(?) embrace Swedish melodic indierock quintet with the somewhat deceiving name Good Morning June, and Danish Betting On The ... 
In December Danish music magazine Soundvenue challenged two of the most lauded Danish acts of 2009, Oh No Ono (photo) and debutants When Saints Go Machine, to do a cover of Animal Collective’s song ‘My Girls’. The result is this original version, which - apart from ‘My Girls’ - incorporate ... 
I was tipped about Swedish one-woman act Devil In These Guys aka Ida Bergman recently and thought I’d share the alternative folkster with you, too. With her compelling vocal and the guitar as primary weapons, throwing in bits of bells, (toy-)piano, strings etc for elegant effect, she moves in melancholic ... 
A solid runner-up in the “longest album title of 2009” race (Mew are surefire first), Norwegian alternative pop outfit Pilemil was according to legend originally a group of artists and craftsmen who shared workspace - where some in fact dabbled in ceramics - until they found out that they’d rather ... 
Today ALL SCANDINAVIAN welcome another guest blogger to our ranks: Ben H. Murray (follow him on Twitter). Every now and then he’ll share his thoughts and recommendations on new and interesting music, and his first piece is a look at some of the Icelandic acts we should expect will make ... 
She’s a thief and admits it, Finnish-American Emily Cheeger. Even though she’s responsible for one of the most imaginative, creative releases this year with her sophomore effort ‘The Plains’, she’s downright stolen her artist name, Vuk. From a child, too. A little half-Serbian boy to be exact (apparently it’s a ... 
My French’s definitely not what it should be. Neither are my northern Norwegian dialects. Either way that’s what I have decided to present in this week’s SpaceScan, because the music is excellent. Danish quartet Cours Lapin offer melancholic pop the French chanson way, while Norway’s Kråkesølv (also a quartet by ... 
November 16 the amazing Eivør Pálsdóttir will release a live album with songs recorded at concerts in Japan, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Iceland and of course her native Faroe Islands over the past years. As a teaser she is streaming three of the songs from the forthcoming release on MySpace, among ... 
Way back when 2009 was young, I had the pleasure of presenting the Swedish instrumental, alternative folk-pop duo Nutid in an edition of our Friday SpaceScans. A few months later they released their debut, followed in late August by this very soothing video for ‘Målarna’ (“the painters”, if the Google ... 
Back in May we featured Swedish act SKRIET (“The Scream”), a project by Isak Sundström (Pascal) and Jacob Frössén, in our SpaceScan series, excited about their apocalyptic and haunting alternative pop, and September 23 they released their eponymous debut album. I haven’t heard it in full, but I like what ... 
Come November 20 the Stockholm based trio Hearts No Static will release their debut full length ‘Motif’, but today they’ve made a free first taste of what to expect available with the five part digital EP ‘The Monthly Noise’.
Rooted in improvisation John Roger Olsson, Jens Pettersson and Otto Johansson create ... Browse
