Big Scary Swedes? Unlikely... new compilation coming
Posted:
Acclaimed Oxford indie label Big Scary Monsters - recent releases include albums by the excellent secondsmile and Itch - are to release a compilation of Swedish music in October, entitled Svenskt.
The album pulls together a number of artists from Western Europe's third-largest country (and that's a fact). Among those on board are DiS's own Jeniferever (pictured), Logh (who've released through Hydra Head in the US) and the lush Last Days Of April. Full tracklisting as follows...
1 Molia Falls 'Godalming'
2 The Sound OE 'Flatliners'
3 Audrey 'Views'
4 KVLR 'Birthcam'
5 Convoj 'My Timekeeping Heart'
6 Suburban Kids With Biblical Names 'Marry Me'
7 The Grand Opening 'Summon'
8 Ellis The Vacuumchild 'When The Going Gets Weird, The Weird Turn Pro'
9 Alarma Man 'Natures Keep Losing It'
10 Jeniferever 'Swimming Eyes'
11 Logh 'Destinymanifesto'
12 David And The Citizens 'Are You In My Blood?'
13 Traktor 'Vultures'
14 The Domus 'Two Thirds'
15 Moonbabies 'War On Sound'
16 Ef 'Misinform The Uninformed'
17 Aerial 'Time Is On Fire'
18 Last Days of April 'Live The End'
A song about some Surrey shithole? Awesome. Svenskt is released on October 16. A MySpace site dedicated to the album can be found here.

I absolutely bloomin' love Logh. Last Days of April and Jeniferever also get the thumbs up. Sweden is where it's at.

Sweden is the new Sheffield

I never thought
I'd ever hear anyone refering to the danish band dureforsog ever again. I have their album Knee. It's bloody nuts.

they're all called arthur or lulu or jake or jemima

I live in Bethnal Green
it's the cool.

I Never Thought Either
Blime! that's two mentions for the awesome Dureforsog. Make this a third. Their albums Exploring Beauty and Engine Machine are strangely wonderful. Forget the Swedes, what about the Danes.
