this week our lovely dj bronwyn was out of commission from having surgery so i held down the fjords solo and played a set starting off with some icelandic indie pop and then moving into some more experimental, avante-garde, ambient, and electronic music.

when i get the show recording i will put it up, right here.

here are the scandinavian sounds:  [artist/song/album]

sin fang bous / advent in ives garden / clangour

symfoniorkestern / Tänd eld på dig själv(för det du tror på) / Tänd eld på dig själv

mum / sing along

the knife in collaboration with mt. sims and planningtorock / colouring of pigeons

kria brekkan / uterus water / uterus water

kira kira / agustskot / our map to the monster olympics

vuk / the arms of spirits / the plains

youngf*** / black tulips

fever ray / triangle walks / fever ray

air france / collapsing at your doorstep / no way down

cleaning women / across the void

we leave you lovely listeners with an enjoyable video from air france, featuring a different song we didn’t play, called ‘no excuses’.

also, a delightful picture of fever ray aka the shaman cat in all her glory :

we hope you enjoyed, keep on listening,
