Ok... the subject line here might just be a silly play on words, but the music and links to the artists involved will probably more than make up for our ridiculousness. The last time we catalogued bands that had previously been featured on MML, our focus was directed to a specific style of dreamy guitar rock [original shoegaze extravaganza + downloads.] This time we are doing things a bit differently in highlighting some of our favorite artists from a country we have come to rely on for a constant supply of outstanding music. Yes that country is Sweden. With the exception of a few individual musicians who are a part of some of these projects, all are from Sweden with a handful now residing in other countries. In several cases, the bands contacted us in a variety of ways but, for the most part, discovering this music was a product of our MySpace and music blog (big favorite) travels over the past couple of years. Hopefully we will have another major list/post for you this time next year. For now, there are 40-something different artists featured so if you can't find anything to fall in love with this time, we have no idea what to tell you. Please make sure to visit the links listed below to support the musicians and purchase the music you are fond of... You can contact plenty of the artists directly in order to do so.
Have fun with this one, search our blog for more good stuff and please let us know when there is new music from Sweden to explore.
