The Washington Post Express offers up a quick preview of the excellent Nordic Jazz Fest taking place in Washington DC this weekend: http://www.expressnightout.com/2012/06/nordic-noise/
Though I know it's not possible to attend for many of us, it is worth noting that a number of the artists appearing will be doing other US dates while they are over here so check local listings.
Westkust - Touch
This here is Westkust's brand new single "Touch", officially out on June 20 via . A bit more straight-up indiepop/C86-sounding than their great labelmates Makthaverskan, but still possessing a strong postpunk undercurrent. Definitely check this out and keep a lookout for the band's debut EP "Junk" which will be released on July 9.
Fox Machine - The drifter (video)
"The drifter" is the latest video from Swedish Americana act Fox Machine.
Gidge - Turbulence (video)
Umeå synth duo Gidge has a new video, but this older clip is far more interesting and new to me.
Nutid - Adrienne (video)
PSL has the premiere of Nutid's new video "Adrienne": http://blogg.svt.se/psl/2012/06/18/premiar-nutid-adrienne/
Heatherwood - Eden (video)
Fuzzy synthpop from a young Finnish/Siberian duo, worth checking out.
Arkhe - Hearse: Acquiesence
