I stumbled upon this record company called Secretly Canadian yesterday. Their artistes are amazing, from what I've listened to.
The picture provided is the cover art of Jens Lekman's album "Night Falls Over Kortedala" which is due for release in around a week. It is brilliant. He has an amazing voice that sounds like it came from the 1960s and his music is so cheery and pretty and hopeful and bright. My favourite so far, discovered by Marcus.
Also on the same label, Frida Hyvönen is an opposite of Jens in every way. Frida is quite obviously a woman. She has a very sharp and potentially annoying voice. Despite some uptempo songs, she does not do cheery or upbeat. Neither does she employ much instruments. Her piano is her weapon. But her work is very intriguing and enjoyable nonetheless. Her videos also own.
One more interesting person is Richard Swift. His music is also very different and strange but normal at the same time. It's like music made in the desert in the 1940s or something, I don't know. But it's very good. His voice is also very good.
