The first taste of Tandem Bridges, a new project featuring Daniel Westerlund of The Goner and Swedish folk artist Anita Livstrand. "Some mornings" is a tune off the massive new Lee Jackson tribute album "For Lee Jackson in Space", an all-star compilation for the dearly departed Texas writer/cultural enthusiast featuring contributions from a huge array of other artists such as Øyvind Holm, Kemialliset Ystävät and more.

Tomorrow, June 5 - It's a Trap! Clubnights presents a night of top-shelf Swedish indierock with Soviac, Tennis Bafra and Åbe at Debaser Malmö! Free entry before 10pm too, so you have no excuse! Do it.
Timo Räisänen is working on a new album with producer/engineer Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Fireside, etc.) for release this coming September.
Åbe made a video for Tennis Bafra. Tennis Bafra made a video for Åbe. Both bands are also featured on a new 3-way split along with labelmates Soviac. Watch the clip, you'll understand.
Can't say that I'm a big fan of Djerv's music, but this video is definitely cool.
Hey look, a new video from Swedish metal act In Solitude!
Not as visually entertaining as other Steed Lord clips, but worth checking out if you dig their big disco sound.
