“Swedish” is a good word when talking about music. Zeigeist is a new electro pop group with a good visual performance and catchy retro pop sound.
They remind me a lot of The Knife, but with probably more pop hits.
I can’t get enough of Tar Heart. The perfect fusion of The Knife and Kate Bush.

I’ve never been into Alanis Morissette music, but I was curious to know how Flavors of Entanglement would sound.
It looks like Morissette is looking for a new aural personality after so many changes in music since her first records - which made her so famous.
Therefore, Flavors… is full of sonic mannerisms.
For instance, Citizen of the [...]

I haven’t heard the 2007 album containing the noise rock stuff, so I’m doing things backwards. yes.
The first song kicks in like a mix of Black Mountain and Klaxons.
Nothing catchy.
Then suddenly everything turns into an 80’s synthesized fever and the two best hits come up, only separated by a Crystal Castles remix. The hits are [...]

Right now I think Australia is the second greatest country in electro. Generally they got the french house and put it into a more pop-oriented structure.
Cut Copy is naturally the most famous aussie newcomer, but there are plenty of new names hitting an unexpected high quality level.
Midnight Juggernauts is one of them.
They have some Cut [...]

My favourite australian band, Cut Copy has crossed the second-album-barrier successfully. In Ghost Colours is at least as good as the predecessor.
Before anything I noticed this album works much better as a whole. While Bright Like Neon Love has some let downs.
In Ghost Colours reinforce the Cut Copy personality and still gives them new ground.
I [...]

Frakkur is the name for this Sigur Rós’ leader solo release.
Songs for the Little Boy sounds nothing like Jónsi’s band. It’s electronic ambient, reminds me of Múm.

Tape is a nice surprise hailing from Sweden. They make chillout music with psychedelic elements and lo-fi / retro sounding synthesizers. But Luminarium goes beyond that, it has acoustic instruments as well. That means an enjoyable album which asks for several replays.

Not talking about hype. The music is cool but the rap vocal bothers me. Lyrics? Oh no, I haven’t paid any attention to that.

Minimal. In my opinion it’s very good for soundtrack or bg music.
Only that.

A not so catchy mix of Daft Punk and Simian Mobile Disco.
