Hey. I just wrote up The Late Call last week here. At the time there was talk of a video. Well, it’s here. And it’s gorgeous (the video and the song). The song “Cards on the Table” picks up where “Linnea” left off. Again we’re dealing with heartbreak and a long distance relationship. The song is based around a simple slowly plucked acoustic guitar, but is supplemented with strings and xylophone. Mats Udd is the young Stockholm based director. Stick around for the whole song and be rewarded with a wonderful closing image.

New video for “Cards On the Table” from The Late Call
Monday, March 23rd, 2009SXSW Preview (Swedish Style) – Steso Songs
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
The original intention of SXSW was for unsigned bands to find a label, a major if all went well. With the number of crappy bands playing SXSW for the past few years that original intent has shifted over time. For many of the bands making the trip to Austin this year being signed is a pipe dream.
With that said it seems to me (a very amateurish music fan who has never dabbled in A&R) that Steso Songs has a chance of breaking big. Steso Songs is Karolina Stenström from Malmö. She only has an ep under her belt but is young, attractive (don’t downplay the importance of that), and talented. If the right people see her perform her music live I do believe she has a shot at something more.
Check her out here.

Swedish Music Roundup (Speedmarket Avenue, Hemsted, Love Is All and not a word about Lykke Li, Sally Shapiro or El Perro Del Mar)
Sunday, April 20th, 2008
(Strange Adventure by Aiko Nakagawa)
The Donnybrook Writing Academy points to the new song from Speedmarket Ave. and wins the “we discovered the next hot band from Sweden” award.
Catbird Seat put the long out of print Hemsted release up for free streaming at Muxtape here.
Idolator links to the Handheld show from Love Is All. Otherwise everyone else was writing about Lykke Li, Sally Shapiro, Peter Moren and El Perro Del Mar and you don’t need to hear anything else about those four, do you?
Swedish video Roundup (TWIG, Moto Boy, Tobias Froberg, Gustav And The Seasick Sailors)
Friday, April 18th, 2008Friday’s as good a day as any for the Swedish YouTube video roundup. It’s a bit of a cop-out and an easy post but these all appeared on YuoTube this week. Plus the weeks had so many good posts you can’t fault me for slacking off going into the weekend.
Tobias Froberg’s new video for “Slipping Under The Radar”
A chiptune from Ludvig Eloffson
TWIG Gigfi Session w/”Helen Of Troy” and “Close Up”
Gustav and the Seasick Sailors live “Don’t Stop To Let It Die”
Plus the new video from Moto Boy – “Ride My Wild Heart”
