My Morning Jacket

SARA!  the last thread disappeared!

This puppy had to be restarted because they are such a prodigious music making country.  5 of my top albums of the year are:

Graveyard - Lights Out
The Amazing - Gentle Stream
First Aid Kit- The Lion's Roar (my favorite)
Meshuggah - Koloss
Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now

Just amazing stuff!  My apologies if the thread still exists though I fear it was vaporized in the switch from the old old forum to the old forum that is again the current forum.

Graveyard - Lights Out

Non-stop for me right now!

Opeth!  (Mikael Akerfeldt is the yum!)
Spiders

Woop! Thanks for bringing it back! :thumbsup: I don't know how it is that everyone knows more about Swedish music than I do, I'll probably be exiled shortly...

So in case any Swedish authority is reading this (likely), I'd like to say that I love Robyn, especially this song:


And this Hello Saferide song:


And this Tiger Lou song:


And this Oh Laura song:


And I'll be checking out all the other mentions shortly... Can't have you out-Swedish me!  :wink:

Albums by The Refused, early The International Noise Conspiracy and The Soundtrack Of Our Lives belong in anyone with taste's record collection.

You guys forgot the best one!

Lykke Li - Get Some (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TTPGAy5H_E#ws)

Ah yes, Lykke, of course! :thumbsup:

Graveyard - An Industry of Murder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5dO17rULEg#ws)

That Graveyard is awesome!  Apparently we got a bunch of copies today. I really have to get my husband on the forum - apparently he's Graveyard's Canadian publicist (and has worked for other bands listed so far.)

He reminded me of a couple other Swedish bands:

Peter John and Bjorn
Jens Lekman
Bathory
Bob Hund (Sweden's answer to Pavement)

Cool!  Sounds like the hubby does work for some real good bands.  Graveyard just rocks and sometimes all I want is some kick ass hard rock n' roll.

Thanks hansandreas for introducing me to them :beer:

You're welcome Ruckus. Cool that he mentions Bathory, one of the most legendary black-metal bands.

In fact, it was four new bands in early 2000s that restored my faith in rock: The International Noise Conspiracy, The White Stripes, MMJ and TSOOL.  Goddamit but TSOOL are impossible to dislike: an intentional hybrid of Stones + Stooges + Who+ Beatles + Pink Floyd, and they also are one of the best live bands on the planet.

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

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.

okay checking out Graveyard now.

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

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

José González - How Low - A Take Away Show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Z8rnwQQZ4#ws)

Junip - Without You (Live on KEXP) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbC1uOjNh6A#ws)

Some of my favourite Swedish bands/performers are

Bathory
Watain
Edge of Sanity
Grave (first three albums!)
Candlemass
Bob Hund
Jens Lekman (actually released his first album on our label in Canada)
Graveyard
Entombed
Death Breath
Disfear

okay, that's enough to start with

:thumbsup:

Goat - Goathead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyE9FM2Y7as#ws)

http://youtu.be/1PJaTQF6Dv4 (http://youtu.be/1PJaTQF6Dv4)
El Perro Del Mar - Walk On By

The Knife - Live - Heartbeats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrjwqXwyzNU#)

Some great Swedish post rock (instrumental) bands:
Scraps of Tape
Immanu El
Pg.Lost
Jenniferever
sickoakes

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.

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.   :smiley:
In Nomine Satanas by Bathory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prQCTBQlN20#)

I also recommend Witchcraft.  I saw them at Bowery Ballroom in late 2007.  Baroness opened the show.
Witchcraft - No Angel Or Demon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80wBpp41rUA#)

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) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnQgKjdwc9A#ws)
Träd Gräs och Stenar - Sanningens Silverflod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sF2LdPyd7o#)

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

Hansson & Karlsson

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, Amason! Woop, woop! Great choice HansAndreas. I've been hoping for a full length version of this song:

Anytime now, anytime...  :thumbsup:

Yes! She's so great. Love their duet videos. :thumbsup: 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?
