Such a great Podcast on NPR All Things Considered featuring two bands from Sweden that I am just looooooving, who play ethereal, otherworldly music: the duo known as jj and a band called Fredrik. The podcast also includes new music from The Besnard Lakes (see blog entry about them on Tuesday), Surfer Blood, Midlake, singer-songwriter Josiah Wolf and a group called The Hotrats covering a classic from Pink Floyd.
