So I am enduring the snowmeggedon here in DC area. 2 feet of snow in two days… not normal. Anyways, some good came out of this blizzard because I discovered Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single “Marchin In”. It is catchy, funky, and Swedish. What more could you ask for? I don’t have many details about the single or whether there is a new LP coming soon. I do know you can get more info about their 2006 release Boylife here. Enjoy! |

Here’s the first video off Swedish folksters Fredrik’s (say that 10 times fast) upcoming album Trilogi. I get sort of a Matthew Bellamy vibe from this guy’s voice by the way, but that’s probably just me. This video is pretty sweet, and I think the album art is even sweeter. Be on the lookout for it’s January 26th release on The Kora Records. And in case you were wondering: “vinter” means winter, and “barn” means children. |

I was drawn to the fifteenth anniversary party of The Double Door in Chicago on a whim. These guys were performing a free show, and until that point, I hadn’t heard much about them. The crowd was one of the most diverse I had seen at a concert in a long time. When Little Dragon took the stage, the energy felt was nothing other than electric. Hailing from Sweden, with a Japanese lead singer, the group creates music that is soulful with electronica influences. Their CD, “Machine Dreams” is definitely worth picking up and listening to from start to finish. The Swedish music scene has given us talents like Miike Snow and Lykke Li, Little Dragon raises the bar even higher. |
