It's great to see all these recs.  Thanks for the introduction to Goat Murph.  I think I need to see them live.

First Aid Kit is likely my top album of the year but The Amazing's Gentle Stream definitely broke my top 10.

Jose Gonzalez and Junip are two Swedish favorites of mine.  Also Jaimoe, agree with you on TSOOL... 

José González - How Low - A Take Away Show

Junip - Without You (Live on KEXP)

I love Junip, Fields was great. I had no idea he was from Sweden.

[Tired Eyes]

Check out Elope.  I really like this band.

Elope "Goodbye"
ELOPE - Black eyed citizen

[Tired Eyes]

Hahaha very nice :) They're Norweigan ;-)

I know, but since you knew and appreciated Bathory, I figured you'd enjoy the Immortal 

tiredeyes (Bill) from here had a Bathory shirt on yesterday but the caligraphy was weird, i kept asking him why he had a 'Batlord' shirt on..he was getting annoyed.

and First Aid Kit--in my top five albums of the year.

I wasn't that annoyed.  I was joking around.  But really...check out the video below (art from their debut album, same as my shirt).  It clearly says Bathory.   
In Nomine Satanas by Bathory

I also recommend Witchcraft.  I saw them at Bowery Ballroom in late 2007.  Baroness opened the show.
Witchcraft - No Angel Or Demon

[Tired Eyes]

I'm a fan of Trad Gras Och Stenar.  I got to see them do a free show here in Connecticut some years back.

Träd Gräs & Stenar - Sommarlåten (live 1972)
Träd Gräs och Stenar - Sanningens Silverflod

[HansAndreas]

Great stuff Elope.  Thanks Tired Eyes Real classic bands Träd Gräs Och Stenar and Bathory.

thanks for this, i really dig Dungen and thought this was pretty good.

the real find for me here though was Idiot Wind.  holy crap.  i spent a good hour last night searching the innernets, watching Youtube vids of her and Kristian doing some incredible duets, learned about a soundtrack they both recorded together that might never see the light of day.  damn, what a voice.  thanks again!

Yes! She's so great. Love their duet videos. I still haven't managed to see her and Kristian together live yet, sigh. Oh well, at least I've seen them both separately, so good, so very good.

Is this the soundtrack you were thinking about?

Heart is like a river - Amanda and Kristian Hollingby Matsson - OST from En gång om året/Once a Year
