The compilation kicks off with Sweden’s hottest exports,
David & the Citizens and Niccokick, with their excellent
vocalists and angst-ridden storytelling. The latest singer-
songwriters come next: Thomas Denver Jonsson, with a
cut from his new album, Gothenburg’s Björn Kleinhenz
and also Ane Brun’s “Humming One Of Your Songs”.
Then follows an exclusive cut from Adria, with their
intimate guitar work and electronic vocals contrasting the
edginess of Now’s “Chin Up” and the bass-heavy Studio.

Kid Commando kick the listener back into action before
art-funksters CDOASS and new hip hop talent Menteroja
take over. Dr Higgins is up next, before Laakso’s surging
“Fight The Fight” takes off.

Newcomers Celestine and Sandy Mouche show how
warm and romantic Sweden can be, while Homeland
(members of Lemko Hall, Det Gamla Landet, David & the
Citizens and others) come up with “Flood”. Boy Omega is
next, then Lemko Hall give us a great cut from their last
album, then The Flu’s piano-driven “Little Friend” brings
things to a close before the wonderful Det Gamla Landet
rock you gently to sleep.
