Rock On Sisyphus!

When TTA told me all about their newest SY signing at SXSW over lukewarm Sparks in a treefort at 4 AM, I was pretty psyched. Then again, they could have told me that they were releasing a Jingle Cats remix album and I would have been stoked. More recently Eric confided that he didn't think I would like what I heard because of the language gap - so wrong. The first single from Nordpolen, "Skimret," is an uplifting pop delight regardless of your native tongue. I must have listened to it ten or so times on repeat whilst cycling the Lachine Canal this past weekend, all the while a grin on my face. SY releases seem to universally have this effect on me - look at how earnest I was when I first wrote about Air France! (They've also got a new release out, but more on that later.)

Anyhow, please enjoy the above video for "Skimret" (it looks even better here) and please make sure to support and encourage fantastic Swedish things by purchasing the release right here.
