Svenskt is a compilation of Swedish music, released via the Oxford, Englandbased Big Scary Monsters label on16th October 2006. It will be available to pre-order from the middle of September andwe'll be running a few promotions and giveaways to coincide, so check back soon for moreon those.
We decided to put it together because we're yet to find a bad band from Sweden, this issimply as many of our favourites as one CD could hold. There are many many others welldeserving of your time and ears, a list of just some of them can be found on theleft.
Above you will notice there are a few tracks from the CD available to stream. Come backagain because we'll probably chop and change them about in the run up to the release, andjust like Aerosmith, you don't want to miss a thing.
See below for the tracklisting and photos of the bands beautiful faces. Be sure to checkout each of their Myspace pages and sample their musical delights. There's something foreveryone here, ranging from the beautiful soundscapes of Jeniferever andEf, the wonderfully moving sounds of Last Days of April and Logh,the delightful pop of Moonbabies and Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, thespiky post-punk from Traktor and The Sound OE, and so much more. Seriously,give yourself a break and listen to the sounds of Sweden.
