Congrats to Carl Bigsten, Maria Stensdotter and Thomas Danielsson - you guys all won the Anna Leong 7" giveaway contest, courtesy of the good people at Chalksounds. Thanks to everyone who entered!

The Anna Leong contest ends tomorrow. Click on the banner to the right if you haven't already entered yet. You can also read an interview the band from Västerbottens Folkblad right here: http://www.folkbladet.nu/index.asp?vf=1&x=30571 (in Swedish)

It's been quite awhile since I've had a contest, so I figured it was due time for a new one. You like free stuff, right? Thanks to the good people at Chalksounds, we'll be giving away free copies of the brand new Anna Leong 7" coming out at the end of the month. To enter, just click the banner on the right and fill out the form. That's all there is to it! Winners be announced in a few weeks. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and download the title track over on the right as well. Anna Leong is yet another fine act from the melancholic pop scene of Umeå. As always, it's highly recommended so be sure to check it out.
