[yertle-the-turtle]

well I suppose a recommendation of sorts.

he's Swedish and his debut album comes out in September, but he's already got a couple of EPs out. you can hear some songs from his label's website. I think he is very reminiscent of Sondre Lerche - nothing to do with being Scandinavian, but more of the fact he peddles the same kind of thoughtful, sweet, poppy indie rock.

check him out. my favourite song of his is called 'you are the light (by which i travel into this and that)' which is on the label's website.
