Winter Took His Life

So christmas was over just like that..... oh well, its freakishly chilly outside (again), and i feel like recommending something warm and toasty for the cold. So... meet Gothenburg girl Susanna Brandin aka. Winter Took His Life. Once again, as in the almost endless Swedish cases of amazing in the shapes of such newer girl names- Lykke Li, El Perro Del Mar, Promise And The Monster, Britta Persson and beyond, one could wonder how there could be any room left for further greatness. But, fear not, Winter Took His Life found herself a quiet prosperous little picnic spot only a heartbeat away.

Her wonderful debut album- You know what it´s like to be alone and shut down, came out last year and can be found at Bless The Press. So if you (just like me), didnt get on the first one in time, there you go. It would be a shame not to follow up on this fantastic girl from the start.

WTHL's myspace can be found here.

First David Bowie, now Springsteen?

Swedish indie postrock sensation Jeniferever, is undoubtably a fascinating and honorable nordic encounter in more than several ways. Ever since their lovely ep Iris, the magnificent album Choose A Bright Morning, and latest the Nangijala ep, a soaring well saturated post-pop sensation have stretched its cuddly arms around the lengths of time and impressed almost every attentive owl standing by. Though stranger phenomena are constantly lurking by the coasts of Jeniferever. Last year the band pulled a daring champ of an Ashes To Ashes (David Bowie) cover out of the hat, and now.......... believe it or not a cover of One Step Up (1987) by Bruce Springsteen. I am intrigued by their curious choices/doings and sit here pondering... really.... what the screech is going on. None the less. The One Step Up track is a feature for an upcoming Springsteen tribute album called "Play Some Pool, Skip Some School, Act Real Cool" released by Where It's At Is Where You Are, prepped for release some time early 2009.

Go visit the still ever lovely Jeniferever at myspace for their albums, songs and above mentioned coversongs.
