The White Moose (featuring Mattias Hellberg)

Friday, November 7th, 2008

I haven’t been around these parts much this week. And the reason is geopolitical. I live in Chicago and as you all know by know so does Barack Obama. And all week I’ve been caught up in the election. But I’ll make up for it today with the new song from Mattias Hellberg’s band The White Moose.

Just about everybody into Swedish music knows the name Mattias Hellberg. He’s worked with members of The Soundtrack Of Our Life, formed the band Nymphet Noodlers, joined The Hellacopters and many more. With so many projects it becomes a little difficult to keep up. Enter Swedesplease. I’ve got the new song from his new group The White Moose.

It’s an exclusive so you’ll only get it here. Pre-order the new record Out Of The Frying Pan Into The Fire here.

Final Call

Gothic Americana from Swedish pysch-rockers Hyacinth House (Glitterhouse Records)

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Not what you expected from a Swedish band, huh. Turns out there’s more to contemporary Swedish music than indie pop from Gothenberg or electronic duos from Malmo. And anyway, what did you think a band that names itself after a Doors’ song would sound like? This gothic americana rock, with some serious European psychedelia thrown in for good measure, is exactly what this band should sound like.

Hyacinth House
has a new record out in Europe on the venerable German label Glitterhouse Records. It’s called Black Crows Country.
