If you are in America and need a good outlet for Swedish music...try Parasol records (google it...I am not sure of the site). The owner has a LOT of good indie stuff...and is a scandinavian music freak.

Kent is an awesome band.


Bo Kasper's Orkester - an awesome jazzy band with a bunch of great tunes. I HIGHLY recommend the album "i centrum".

I need more Swedish music and I need it now.

In addition to many already mentioned in this old thread, I'm loving The Honeydrips and Lykke Li.
