The excellent Swedish "post avant garde pop" label , run by Thomas Ekelund of Trepaneringsritualen/Soma Sema, has a nice new website where you can stream/purchase all of their releases thus far: http://www.belaten.se/
Always nice to see a well-made website with multimedia content that doesn't necessarily rely on Flash.
Swedish apocalyptic/avantgarde art/music label is putting out a new cassette compilation curated by synth duo Soma Sema featuring 50 minutes of "cold synthetic pop, troubled industrial funk and dada rants" including new and exclusive tracks from artists such as Blitzkrieg Baby, Television Set, Nimam Spregleda, Makina Girgir, Kord, Lust for Youth and more. Look for a full-length preview this Friday with orders being taken Monday, June 4. And since I've already been privy to hearing the entire thing, I can say with authority that it's well worth checking out.
The excellent Swedish/American synthpop act Soma Sema now has a video for their single "Artificial heart. If you're into this sort of thing and haven't picked up the 7" yet, you're blowing it.
Killer new song from Swedish/American synthpop duo Soma Sema off the already sold-out 2x C-60 cassette collection "Forward + Rewind: The Future Echo Tapes". I don't know much about the other acts on said comp, but it is still available for streaming/paid download via Bandcamp if you are seeking more sounds of a similar ilk.
