Jenny Wilson's "Love and youth" will finally be released throughout all of Scandinavia on October 31 with the rest of Europe to follow early next year. Before going solo, Jenny was known as the frontwoman for First Floor Power. Her record was produced with help from The Knife.

Jenny Wilson
Let my shoes lead me forward
Rabid Records

As you may or may not know, Jenny Wilson is the first signing to The Knife's record label. Although a bit obvious, this doesn't sound too different from The Knife. This is no bad thing. It has more a pop sheen and slightly less screechy vocals, which has always been my main criticism of The Knife. Jenny Wilson deserves her own attention, and with a bit of luck may even eclipse the success of The Knife overseas. As her records have more instrumentation than The Knife I imagine that live, she truly shines.

Note to Chris: I'd love to import all the Rabid Records stuff, but I'm too overwhelmed with other work right now. I'm planning on expanding my distro quite a bit over the summer, but it's a tremendously slow process. In the meantime, I suggest hotstuff.se.
