The Archer Trilogy Pt. 2 is already out and I hadn’t even gotten around to spending time with Pt. 1.
Shame on me.

Mariam Jäntt is a bit hit and miss on this her third release. There are some outstanding tracks however, so worth checking out.

Sóley Stefánsdóttir’s solo debut is just devine.
Puts me in mind of Stina Nordenstam’s delicious debut ‘Memories of a Color’ with a sprinkling of CoCoRosie’s debut ‘Noah’s Ark’.
Sóley – ‘Smashed Birds’ from the album ‘I’ll Drown’
For distributors go to Moor Music.
If you are in the UK, Boomkat have MP3, FLAC and CD versions.

Her latest is released today, with the option of a Deluxe version adding a second CD of songs.
A real filmic/soundtrack feel to the whole album.
Delicious vocals as usual from the wonderful Ane.

Electronica trio from Norway featuring Norwegian film star Viktoria Winge on vocals.
You can choose how much to pay for their album over on the website.
How cool is that.

Fronted by Anna Brønsted, their second, more upbeat, full release after the totally soporific 2008 When Your Blackening Shows.
They are playing at the Bestival, Isle of Wight UK in September.
Our Broken Garden – ‘Seven Wild Horses’ from the album ‘Golden Sea’
This version is a bit more upbeat than the album version.

Velvet vocals and piano with the occasional non intrusive backing instrument.
An utterly divine debut.

Very intellectual in its concept, but Jenny carries it off and produces a aurally velvet album.
Jenny Hval – ‘How Gentle’ from the album ‘Viscera’

Some highly infectious tunes on Nanna Øland Fabricius latest release.
She is supporting Sia and Katy Perry on tour later this year, which can’t be a bad thing.
Her website did my head in a little though…
Oh Land – ‘Perfection’ (live) from the album ‘Oh Land’
