I've only just got round to listening to some of the new(ish) poppy-stuff from Scandinavia, and I likes what I hear! Stuff like:
Lykke Li
Robyn
Kleerup
Sally Shapiro
People Press Play
Anyone got any other suggestions for me to listen to next?

Who?

What does the A stand for?

I like

Lykke Li & Sally Shapiro best. Some Robin is alright and I wouldn't mind hearing some more Kleerup.

I really can't think of anything else to add right now...

Robyn - With Every Heartbeat

is produced by Kleerup, is an amazing song. Was it released a while ago? I remember hearing about her a while ago...

yeah thats a cracker

I think it was a single over here a while back yeah.

Kleerup's new album has Lykke Li on it that might be worth hearing.

labrador!

http://www.labrador.se/artists/index.php3
i recommend sambassadeur (their song 'kate' is amazing) and suburban kids with biblical names!

Ah cool

I didn't know Suburban Kids were Scandinavian. Will check out Labrador!

Its a label!

:O

that's

right my friend.
hopefully a treasure trove of scandinavian pop for you.

Cheers

:)

We're

going to be releasing a new Suburban Kids With Biblical Names record soon. FACT.

their website

has the option 'Download all free Labrador MP3s as one single zip-file', which is what I'm currently doing! I hope it's good!

Air France!

..amazing swedish band (more electronic sounding, mind)
http://www.myspace.com/theairfrance

LO-FI-FNK (again a bit more on the electro side..)
http://www.myspace.com/lofifnksweden

Tape (instrumental nordic bliss)
http://www.myspace.com/tapesthlm

You're right

Air France are amazing! Thanks

Air France ?!!!

it's like hearing 'Club Tropicana' by Wham! for the first time again...really. absolutely amazing !!!

JENS LEKMAN!

If you like Suburban Kids... you'll probably like him. Oooh he's just so swoonsomely wonderful! Especially live. I'd start with When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog, then go onto the newest, Night Falls Over Kortedala. And especially the song, Cold Swedish Winter.

Hmmm

Not a massive fan of Jens... My sister loves him tho, but he sounds a bit lounge(y) to me sometimes. Maybe I need to him another chance.

Ooooo

I just remembered another band I know
The LK - vs the Snow
http://www.myspace.com/thelkhideout
From Malmo, Sweden

In fact

Pitchfork gave them a rather favourable review...
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/48981-the-lk-vs-the-snow
Some really gorgeous pop music!

mew

are also special (one of their best songs) while we are on the subject of Scandinavian bands

Love Is All

I think there scandinavian :/

ANNIE

Annie, for God's sake, listen to Annie.

Chewing Gum and Heartbeat are two of the best damn pop songs you'll ever hear. She's got a new album out very soon too.

She was the best thing at Glastonbury, along with Jay-Z.

aaaand

she's playing at proud this friday and I'm thinking of going.
