The top song "Secret view" is especially good.

Hybris will be releasing the debut album from The Sweptaways, a 28-strong all-female indiechoir from Stockholm that only performs hit covers. They're previously worked with many big names such as Jens Lekman, Jenny Wilson, El Perro Del mar and Blood music, so expect good things. Release date is set for November 22.

Danish electro-rockers Veto will come to the US for three shows in the near future. Details to come.

Tabu has signed The Floor Is made Of Lava, a Danish band who hounded many a music blogger recently with what I thought were terrible songs with even worse lyrics. Guess not everyone agrees with my taste.

Danish indierockers Epo-555 have announced that Linda Christine Drejer Bonde is their new female singer, replacing the recently departed Camilla Florentz who left to concentrate on her pending motherhood (Less anyone think there are hard feelings, Epo-555 frontman mikkel max Hansen is the father).

Two songs from Vijaya's excellent self-titled debut album will be featured in the the film "Du och jag" ("You and me"). It opens on October 6 in Sweden and was directed by the team of martin Jern and Erik Larsson, probably best known for the teen movie "Fjorton suger".
