Mira Aasma

Mira Aasma – Mirrors “Mirrors” is the new single from Gothenburg’s Mira Aasma, its from her self-titled debut LP, coming on Birds Records later this month. What starts off as a clinical/cynical, omminous elctro-chiller blooms into a beautiful dance-oriented, proper-order pop song. The State Of Independence-esque synth line that’s there from the beginning is the…

Haters gonna love Hater

Hater – You Tried Malmö’s Hater are Caroline Landahl, Måns Leonartsson, Adam Agace and Lukas Thomasson.

Djustin “Dancing” Djustin is Sweden’s Johan Angergard and America’s Rose Suau. “Dancing” is the lead single from their debut LP “Voyagers”coming on Labrador Records in May.
