Here's a quick preview of the upcoming Thåström live concert movie + doc premiering this weekend on SVT2. I fully expect torrents to be available Sunday morning for us folks outside of Sweden, that is, unless SVT isn't streaming it themselves.
Check out tuba/guitar/electronics duo Invader Ace performing live on video for Kvalität: http://www.kvalitat.com/2011/12/invader-ace-walkie-talkie-o/
A new song from the next Tarantula Waltz album, performed live solo at Solna Kyrka.
You heard it here first, but now Pitchfork is getting hip to Danish heavies Rising and are also streaming the track "Mausoleum": http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12924-mausoleum/
"Dans för två" is the first single from Tvärvägen's new album "Staring directly into the sun", due out February 27 via .
Sonic Router is streaming the new album "Paper boat" from Swedish skweee duo Markis Sage, aka Rigas den Andre + Mesak: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2012/01/first-listen-markis-sage-paper-boat-losonofono/
The upcoming 7" from Sexdrome/Iceage sideproject War (could you be more unoriginal?) is now available for preorder from : http://sacredbonesrecords.com/releases/sbr069/
"Wolf girl" is Simian Ghost's brand new single, their first from the forthcoming album "Youth" which will be out on March 3 via /, both as a digital download and also on transparent vinyl. And that's not all- the band is also getting attention from abroad with the UK's Guardian calling them "an early contender for album of the year." See them play live in Scandinavia this winter: http://simianghost.com/?page_id=2
A different sort of rendition of "Last Christmas", as realized by Nils Berg Cinemascope and Tiffany Alvord.
Obviously not an official video, but new music from Nightsatan is always welcome, even if it is holiday themed.
A brief excerpt of the new Hypertext single "Cantarell", due out in January (plus some live show news).
As promised, new music from Swedish hardcore/doom act Blessings. I recommend starting with "Second blessings", but both tunes are solid.
Finally! Four brand new demo tracks from The High Hats! Check it: http://highhats.blogspot.com/2011/12/high-hats-heartbeaten-by-police.html
Knuste Ruter has parted ways with vocalist Kjetil Mikkelsen as he has decided to concentrate more on his other bands Summon the Crows and Dishonorable Discharge. In his place the band has enlisted Hasse Brinch, ex-member of Stengte Dører.
Good to see that Medeia is back to making entertaining videos once again, even if I will probably never actually like their music.
