Swedesplease – The Swedish Music Blog

Island On The Living have put up four lo-fi demos for your enjoyment on their site. The 4 cuts their are part of a cdr ep with 8 songs that arrved in the mail for me the other day. IOTL is a one man band but the rest is kept mysteriousely under wraps.

Here are the two most accessable songs on the new cd. Unlike some of the other sunny swedish lofi music, this doesn’t have many light moments and there is a scary, creeping feeling that abounds.

You Miss You
A Siamese Tiger

When I find music like Sir Eric Beyond. I realize that no matter how deeply I delve into Swedish pop (let alone hip-hop, folk, or rock) I ‘m just scatching the surface. Just the name alone, Sir Eric Beyond And The Avante-Garde, conjures up images of paisely polka dots and swirling lollipop lenses.

Sir Eric’s debut came out on March 6 on Flora and Fauna. Order here through Begans.se.
