New songs and some mixed stuff...

Below I've posted 5 new tracks found over at Myspace. The quality of the songs has indeed improved from the lowly 96 Kbps and the bitrates of the new songs are 128 Kbps or better. I still cannot figure out how to link directly to the songs (Chris is working on this), so I've had to upload the songs myself (hopefully no one minds?). The Myspace download function doesn't seem to be working perfectly, but hopefully they are trying to fix it, so we can return to "the good old days"!!!

Shoegazers Tearwave from US has posted two new ones. The band has recorded a fine cover of The Church's Under The Milky Way and Read Me is a really great shoegaze inspired track (noisy guitars, dreamy vocals and stuff). A full length CD has been recorded and that one should be a "must".
+ Read Me
+ Under The Milky Way

Alaska (Chris' guinea pigs) from Sweden is one more band in the ever growing line of fantastic Swedish indie pop band. A new EP should be just around the corner, and hopefully the rest of the tracks are as good as these. Originally recommended to Chris and me by J.A.
+ Another Beat
+ Perfect View

Björn Kleinhenz is a real blogger "darling". No offence, as not only does he create great music, but he is also one of the musicians that seems to recognize the relevance of the music bloggers. AND the importance of giving away music for free! But I'd still love to know what has happened to Memoplay!?
+ Sing YEAH

Just found this new and absolutely wonderful indie pop tune by Indonesian band Annemarie over at Music Is My Girlfriend. The band's new album called ABC on TV will be released on Monday (19th).
+ Bubblegum I See

aPLAGUE of ANGELS has a superb post on Danish indie/electronic act Volvoe.

I've added On The Trail Of The Great and Der Mondgucker to the blogroll.

I've "borrowed" today's picture from the home page of Amnesty International Volunteers.

Music Is My Girlfriend!

I'm been aware of the existence of Swedish label Music Is My Girlfriend for quite some time (primarily because Celestial is signed to the label), but I've never really listened to any of the many downloads they offer for free. But the other day J.A. advised me to give a few of the bands/songs a listen and I'm glad I did, because this is probably as close to indie pop heaven you'll ever get. And when the guys behind the label state that they have no intention of making any money (nor do they want loosing any), they definitely have secured themselves a big spot in my music heart. The concept of the label is not to focus on just one subgenre of pop music, but they do seem to have (more than) a weak spot when it comes to indie/twee pop. And once you start downloading it just seems ever so natural that one great song follows the other. So be prepared to spend quite some time there downloading! Below 3 very good (but not necessarily the best) tracks that I've downloaded so far!
+ Peace In Our Time - Everyone or Anyone
+ Starflower - Dance Til Morning Light
+ Annemarie - Apple (Suicide On Your Stereo Set)
