Swedish indie pop duo, Marching Band, has made available the first track off their forthcoming (May 18) sophomore album, Pop Cycle, for free download. In case you forget, I previewed Pop Cycle with a “Notable Album Release” post, as this is a much-anticipated album for me. I have heard it, but you’ll [...]

 Leave a comment | In a shocking turn of events, this review is heading to… SWEDEN! Okay fine, we (I) may overdo the Swedish stuff a bit on Knox Road (I know, impossible), but the music is so damn good. The Radio Dept. mostly affirms that on Clinging to a Scheme, only their third full-length despite [...] April 21st, 2010 | Tags: Album Reviews, Clinging to a Scheme, MP3, New Albums, Sweden, The Radio Dept. | Category: Album Reviews, MP3, New Albums |
One comment | It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Junip‘s last album, an EP titled Black Refuge, came out in 2006, and since then there has been a single and little to nothing else. Label me a fan of anything José González participates in – the Swede (of Argentinian descent), one of my favorite [...] April 19th, 2010 | Tags: José González, Junip, MP3, Sweden, tour dates | Category: Artist Profiles, Concerts / Tour Dates, MP3 |
2 comments | It must be tiring for Kristian Matsson, The Tallest Man on Earth, to keep hearing all those brushed-over comparisons to Bob Dylan, but oh well. The similarities are striking. The songs on The Wild Hunt, his latest album, are largely bare-bones folk, not much more than strummed or picked acoustic guitar under [...] April 13th, 2010 | Tags: kristian matsson, Sweden, The Tallest Man on Earth, the wild hunt | Category: Album Reviews, MP3 |
4 comments | The Radio Dept. finally made their much-ballyhooed second single (it’s been floating around the interwebs for quite some time now), “Never Follow Suit”, available for free download. You know my mantra here on Knox Road: Gimme Swedish Rock! These guys are yet another epitome of Sweden’s brilliantly constructed, chilled-out dream pop, and nowhere [...] April 10th, 2010 | Tags: Clinging to a Scheme, MP3, Never Follow Suit, Sweden, The Radio Dept. | Category: MP3, New Albums |
3 comments | Best news of the week day past hour! Marching Band, those Swedish wunderkinds, are back! The duo is set to release a sophomore LP entitled Pop Cycle in May 2010 on U & L Records. Pop Cycle is said to be slightly darker than Spark Large, which has to be expected, considering [...] February 8th, 2010 | Tags: Indie Pop, Marching Band, MP3, New Albums, Pop Cycle, Spark Large, Sweden | Category: MP3, New Albums, News |
Leave a comment | We’ve been gearing up for quite some time with this record haven’t we? After the spooky “Mujina/Locked In The Basement” track and a video teaser of “Vinterbarn”, Fredrik gave us plenty of material in steady anticipation of their second full-length, Trilogi. Hot on the heels of their stellar, and at times frighteningly [...] January 26th, 2010 | Tags: Album Reviews, Fredrik, MP3, New Albums, Sweden, Trilogi | Category: Album Reviews, MP3, New Albums |
One comment | Swedish indie folk. Need I say more? …Yeah, I probably do. Piroth is, appropriately, the sisters Piroth (Nina and Johanna.) They get small help from others on some tracks, but Nina and Johanna keep the Piroth legacy intact. And why not? I’ve never heard disassembled harmonies quite like these, which somehow maintain [...] September 18th, 2009 | Tags: Fog Dancers, folk, New Albums, Piroth, Safe Haven, single, Sweden | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | Fredrik?? Fredrik! Yessss. Our favorite Swedish band (lies – we actually love all Swedish bands, duh) and yours is back with some new material in the form of an mp3 off their forthcoming album, Trilogi – which drops November 10 on The Kora Records. “Locked In The Basement” starts off with a [...] September 9th, 2009 | Tags: Fredrik, New Albums, Sweden, The Kora, Trilogi | Category: MP3, New Albums |
One comment | Fredrik Karlsson, one of the members of a KR favorite band, Fredrik, has his own solo project that I’d imagine you’d all love to hear about, as I’ve only just discovered it recently. Solander is Karlsson backed up by various others, mostly from the the Swedish Malmö underground scene. With a similar [...] August 7th, 2009 | Tags: Fredrik, Fredrik Karlsson, Malmo, Orchestral Pop, Since we are pigeons, Solander, Sweden, Tendervision | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
