• Stockholmband Trail Of Feathers released their Love and Theft EP a week ago. The band got heroes as Portishead, Feist, Albert King and Shuggie Otis. We hear a guitar sound that clings to your soul, a molotov cocktail between the lines, a dark fairy tale you dig without remorse.

Check out title song Love and Theft, and have a good one.

• The Swedish blues rocking bad boys of Siena Roots got us hooked from the first riff and the second raff. It’s a Deep Purple kind of colour.

Check out their third single Root Rock Pioneers from their 2014-album Pioneers, their fifth studio album to date – filled with genuine, brilliant and hard earned songwriting.

In their own word this is ”folky inspired gospel music performed by a post punk band”. We say dig!

• From the southern part of Sweden we introduce Anna Jadeus & the Miracle Orchestra and their brand new song Army Révolutionnaire. A hooky folky vibe we double dare you to resist, a feet stomping zealous ride.

It’s unsigned, homemade and a fresh breath of mountain air. It’s Regina Spektor drinking Scotch on the rocks with The Head And The Heart on the banks of Öresund. Give it a swing!

• Danish Americana is upon our table. Check out the amazing Workers In Songs and their beautiful, heartbreaking, wicked song Sorry Marie. Singer Morten Krogh sure takes us for an intense danamerican ride.

The bands second studio album That Glorious Masterpiece is pumped with great music. It’s a reflection of mistakes, dreams and love yet realizing that sometimes something beautiful has to die before you can move on.
