Presenting: Cut-Out Witch

Check out Cut-Out Witch, a brand new band out of Stockholm featuring two members from Sad Day for Puppets: http://www.cutoutwitchband.com/
The band's self-titled debut EP was recorded by a "pretty drunk" Mattis Ruwe (Makabert Fynd) and will be getting a proper digital release in the near future, but it's already available for full streaming at the aforementioned website. If you dig the classic indie sound of bands I've posted before such as Life Before Man, you'll dig this too.

MP3: Life Before Man - Talk about it

It's that time of year when my work schedule is absolutely manic, so of course that means I've taken on a couple freelance jobs in addition to all the usual BS I'm usually paid to do. And as for things I'm not paid to do such as this site and that one, well... they tend to slip amongst my top priorities. So yeah, that's my ongoing excuse for a severe lack of mp3 posts and other feature-length content. Still trying to figure out a proper balance so I can work as much as I need to and still enjoy life, but in the mean time, here's a track from the very great Swedish indie throwbacks Life Before Man. You like classic Swindie? Do you get nostalgic for the sound of the early 90s? Maybe you appreciate your indiepop to have a touch of anger? Good! Enjoy this demo track from a 12-year old band that never recorded anything until very, very recently.

Life Before Man - Talk about it

Life Before Man @ Absolut Noise

Absolut Noise has a new track up from Life Before Man, a long-running/never-documented Swedish indie act featuring my friend Mattias from Culkin/KVLR: http://absolutnoise.blogspot.com/2010/11/internet-killed-tape-stars.html
If you dig noisy guitar-driven indie (such as Mattias' other/previous bands), you will dig this. I do.
