Video of the Day #110: I Was A King

I’ve been extremely excited about the upcoming I Was A King album for a few months. This new promotional video for the single Frozen Disease doesn’t make the excitement levels any lower. A really wonderful pop song. Reminds me a bit of Nada Surf in the verse (Let Go -era.. aka the brilliant era), but let’s not get into that scary and pointless namedropping. I Was A King is a Norwegian pop group and their new album You Love It Here will hit the record stores and our hearts on 5th of october. Well at least in Norway/Scandinavia. Hopefully the distribution to Finland works one way or another, because I really need to hear and buy this one. Oh and one more minor thing. The new album was co-produced by Norman Blake and Robyn Hitchcock! Norman Blake was the reason why I first got into I Was A King. The thing that keeps me interested, is I Was A King themselves and their great pop songs. This is the new single Frozen Disease.

Video of the Day #109: The Wicked Whispers

And then something completely different. British 60’s influenced psychedelic pop/folk group The Wicked Whispers has a new seven inch vinyl single out on Electone Records and they also have a new music video for the a-side Dandelion Eyes. Sounding pretty excellent once again and they fully deserve to be featured in video of the day section for the second time.

Video of the Day #107: Johan Örjansson

Tonight I’ve been mostly listening to Swedish singer-songwriter Johan Örjansson. I stumbled upon his single If I Were To Love You on No Deal Music’s spotify list and instantly liked it. Johan Örjansson’s songs remind me a lot of Ryan Adams, but that’s hardly a bad thing. I love Ryan and it seems like I could end up developing same kind of affection towards Johan. His new album Melancholic Melodies For Broken Times came out on june 7th and this is the aforementioned single If I Were To Love You.
