Not your typical ABBA

It's been a tough day, let's listen to The Sweet Serenades

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, The Sweet Serenades consist of Martin Nordvall and Mathias Näslund, childhood friends who formed the band in 2002. Interestingly enough, The Sweet Serenades began their career performing original music in Swedish prisons to entertain the inmates. It was through these gigs that they molded their sound - poppy and dreamy yet upbeat tunes that hook you at first listen. I've always been a fan of Swedish music. It's the one country that consistently produces amazing art and literature, in my opinion. The Sweet Serenades released their album, "Balcony Cigarettes," in 2009. Their second album, entitled "Help Me" is slated for release in 2012.


Here is a video of their single, "Die Young," featuring Karina Komstedt of Club 8 (for another post!)
