Oh boy, this is good. But I’m a bit annoyed that I’ve got to be so on top of my game. The new record from Fireflies came out today. Word of it only just hit the internet yesterday and yet Skatterbrain has already beaten me to the punch.
Of course, I should probably tell you that Fireflies is from Malmo, Stockholm, or Gothenberg. But I can’t. The band (really just one guy named Lisle) is from Chicago by way of California and New England. But he squeeks onto Swedesplease due to the fact that his new record is a co-production of two Swedish Labels, Lavender Records and Music Is My Girlfriend.
The first song available to preview is the gorgeous track “X-Mas Song”. Rarely will you hear such a simple and beautiful track as this.
