Kamera's new single "Like a drug" has been confirmed for an October 25 release.

El Perro Del mar was supposed to open for Camera Obscura on their upcoming UK tour, but I believe she got sick and had to cancel. Have no fear though - The Tiny will fill in with their own particular brand of melancholy Swedish goodness:

10/16 - Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh
10/17 - Jabezz Clegg, manchester
10/18 - The Scala, London
10/19 - Thekla, Bristol
10/20 - The Social, Nottingham

Flora & Fauna has posted the new Kallioinia single "Castle pop" for download, along with the Rigas remix: https://www.brilliant.nu/ (under 'mp3')

The new album "It's your funeral" from Swedish hardcore act Nine has been pushed back to a march 2007 release. Spinefarm will handle the CD version and Combat Rock Industry will take care of vinyl.

Check it, a new track from The Tough Alliance: mp3/TTA%20-%20Don't%20Close%20Your%20Eyes.mp3" target=_blank>https://www.sincerelyyours.se/mp3/TTA%20-%20Don't%20Close%20Your%20Eyes.mp3

Wacky Swedish electronic act I Love You Baby!, probably the one group that really does truly sound like The Knife (circa the first album), will be touring the Baltics in a couple days:

10/07 - Fontaine Palace, Liepaja (LV)

October's album of the month: m/store.php?item=262">Sonores - Elefanten
Brilliant band, brilliant album. The m/label.php?show=6">IAT.mP3 EP only hints at their talent, the full-length confirms it. This will definitely be one of my favorite albums released this year.

Also note that 1999's debut album is now m/store.php?item=267">in stock in the IAT webstore. I posted an mp3 from these guys not too long ago, but you can also check out a song in my recent m/index.php?article=220">podcast mix. Great band, very recommended. Look for tons more choice products to be added to the store in the next few weeks.

Sayyadina has posted a rough mix of the new song "The real" up at myspace: myspace.com/sayyadinagrindcore" target=_blank>https://www.myspace.com/sayyadinagrindcore
