Agent Bla Hitting the Right Notes

Leave a comment

agentThis track from Agent Bla hit the world yesterday with a lot of promise, claiming the band as purveyors of Swedish pop. I’m all in, but I find this song to even go a bit beyond the normal Swedish fare; it’s got that shimmering gleam to it, but there’s a bit more attitude in it than what I come to accustom with the genre. You’ll probably look at it as a youthful vibe, which is fair, considering these are some youngsters, but considering they’ve just signed with Luxury Records, good things should be coming our way soon.

Rad Tune from Cave Cat

Leave a comment

Man, I really love this track from Cave Cat.  I wish I knew more about this group of Swedes, other than they just released this great 7″ on Luxury and Dufflecoat Records.  It’s definitely a bit of a wayward jangle, but the atmospheric bent of the vocals and ringing guitars puts this band on par with groups like The Mary Onettes…another personal favorite.  I particularly love how the guitar solo knifes its way through on the latter half of the tune. Dig it, kids, and check out another track “abject” here.
