{     Suburban Kids with Biblical Names     }    

I have said it many a time. So I will just go ahead and repeat once more, SWEDEN IS SAVING MUSIC.

It seems the only indie-ish music I can tolerate these days is from Sweden, and we won't even get into the many electronic gifts Sweden has given us recently.

Suburban Kids with Biblical Names immediately brings to mind the Tough Alliance and the lead singer's voice reminded me immediately of the Magnetic Fields' frontman, Stephin Merritt. I adore how they seem to sing super close to the mic. They are young and unpolished, but they own a 4-trak, a mic and damn I can't stop singing along to Loop Duplicate My Heart.
