• Daydreams and Nightmares, the 2nd album from young Swedish popsters Those

Dancing Days, was recorded in Stockholm over the spring, summer and early fall of

2010 with Patrik Berger, the fast rising young producer known for his recent work

with Robyn. Filled with soaring choruses led by singer Linnea Jönsson’s sweetly sultry

vocals, the tracks range from the blissful pure pop of “I’ll Be Yours” to the defiant, hard

charging anthem “Fuckarias,” and from the New Wave-tinged, starry-eyed “Dream

About Me” to the wistful, reluctant build of “When We Fade Away.” The lushly vibrant

“Can’t Find Entrance” was co-written by Max Martin (Kelis, The Veronicas, Katy Perry),

who approached the band about working together after hearing their debut

LE CORPS MINCE DE FRANCOISE LOVE AND NATURE CD: HVNLP83CD / PPD: $13.99 ALTERNATIVE /V2

• Rising out of Helsinki’s local electro-pop-punk scene in 2007, sisters Emma and Mia

Kemppainen’s musical vehicle LCMDF (Le Corps Mince de Francoise) was quickly

picked up by bloggers and music fans across the globe. Their incredibly vibrant,

leftfield pop gained them countless fans, earning them the top spot on the Hype

Machine, out-ranking even Kanye West. ‘Gandhi’ re-imagines Sean Ryder’s skewed

pop vision, but sung by Nordic sirens who cut their teeth listening to everyone from

the Beastie Boys to Gaga whilst getting lost in Ghost World. It’s as immediate and

accessible as it is dazzlingly unique. In keeping with their Dance music and Pop

heritage, Heavenly say of their newest signing ‘the band hold true the qualities of

the bands we love: conviction, tunes & a love of POP’

TREEFIGHT FOR SUNLIGHT SELF TITLED CD: BELLACD270 / PPD: $15.98 ALTERNATIVE/V2

• In 21st century terms, no one really sounds like TREEFIGHT FOR SUNLIGHT. Just one

spin of debut single “What Became of You and I” will confirm their swooning, roller-

coasting, deliriously jubilant sunshine pop that harks back to more innocent times.

Now here comes their self-titled debut album which bottles their epic sunshine into

ten pop symphonies in a compact 35 minutes - as God surely intended albums to

last – and shows Bella Union are embracing the new year with the same eclectic

enthusiasm as ever.
