I recently wrote two reviews for Cluas, as part of a special on the Swedish music scene:
Yosei - The Wind-Up Waltz
Lucknow Pact - Open Your Arms
Sweden appears to be something of a pop mecca at the moment, throwing out brilliant artists like Manchester has for the past few decades. The Hives, Peter, Bjorn & John, Jens Lekman and Lykke Li spring to mind instantly, but the underground delights of bands like The (International) Noise Conspiracy and Randy (amongst many many others) help to make the Swedish scene one of the most vibrant and eclectic in the world.
Icy pop from Lucknow Pact
Warm pop from Jens Lekman
Politically-driven garage rock from The (International) Noise Conspiracy
