The Deer Tracks – The Archer Trilogy Pt. 1 – E.P. (2011)
The Archer Trilogy Pt. 2 is already out and I hadn’t even gotten around to spending time with Pt. 1.
Shame on me.

The Deer Tracks – ‘Ram Ram’ from the E.P. ‘The Archer Trilogy Pt. 1’
Gritty shoe-gazing from Swedens Maria Mortensen.
Scarlet Chives – ‘Don’t You Put Your Hands There’
A dreamy, dreamy, floaty, floaty album with some bite to it.
You can get the physical CD or MP3s over on the Despotz website.
Twiggy Frostbite – ‘Heroes’ from the album ‘Through Fire’
Quick update on Lykke Li.
MTV USA have release her Unplugged session for the rest of the world to see.
Great stuff. Looks like she is not back in the UK until November, which is a shame…

I would class this as a slow burner…
Failing instantly in love with her 2008 debut, here, it took me a few plays to get into this, but loving it now.
Nasty backing guitars and percussion.
You can grab her latest single for free over on her website.
Lykke Li – ‘Get Some’ from the album ‘Wounded Rhymes’
More bouncy electro from her second set of tracks in the Body Talk series.
Robyn – ‘Hang With Me’ from the album ‘Body Talk PT2’
Part one of three releases set for this year from the effervescent Robyn.
Body Talk Pt. 2 – September 2010.
Speak Your Body: Body Talk Pt. 3 – December 2010.
Almost retro 80‘s synth sounds from vocalist ‘Plastique’ and electro genius ‘Deadbeat’.
A punchy debut that has been looping on my playlists for the last few weeks, and I am not tiring of it.
The Girl & The Robot – Extracts from ‘The Beauty Of Decay’
Lykke has posted a live recording on her website of Possibility from the New Moon soundtrack.
Check out her excellent album Youth Novels from 2008 if you haven’t already done so.
Lykke Li – ‘Possibility’
Maia, backing singer from Hello Saferide, has a sweet 4 track E.P. out right now.
Acoustic and calmer than her previous outing.
Maia Hirasawa – ‘The Wrong Way’ from the album ‘GBG vs STHLM’
Thanks to Simon for reminding me about Elins’ forth album from 2009.
A wonderful maturing in her sound constructions on this disc.
Look out for the pink packaged version that has bonus tracks.
Elin Ruth Sigvardsson – ‘Love’ from the album ‘Cookatoo Friends’

Victoria Bergsman, AKA, Taken by Trees, released her second album this September, and very lovely it is to.
Some lovely Ethnic sounds layering in with her lovely voice.
Her single ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ is currently being used on the John Lewis Christmas television adverts.
Taken By Trees – ‘My Boys’ from the album ‘East of Eden’

This is a great album from 2008 that I have only just discovered.
She has supported Ann Brun, so it is shameful that I haven’t heard of her before.
Nina Kinert – ‘Combat Lover (live)’ from the album ‘Pets and Friends’

The video of this wasn’t working for me on the EinsteinBarbie website, so Steven very kindly emailed me a copy of it for me to reupload to YouTube from the UK. Bless.
Pure genius.
I urge you all to go to their website and subscribe to their email thing.
Cool as in Isaz
