Interview with Northern Portrait’s Stefan Larsen

Northern Portrait are a relatively new indie pop band. They formed only two years ago, yet as you’ll find out (or perhaps, as you already know) they have released two EPs and are to release their very first album. They come from Denmark and are on the look for the best pop song. Apparently, they have come quite close to this. If you want to check some of their so far released tracks, just go…

What does Nina when Love Has Left The Room? She goes for long strolls on the beach, watches old sailors play chess, before realizing the best thing to do is wait for a new suitor to…

Let’s have a little BIG Adventure … in Sweden again, of course ! Interviewing Magnus from LBA

stands for the Stockholm-based solo performance of Magnus Sätterström . This Swedish indie pop performer has released a couple of songs that could perfectly get squeezed among the good pop songs we’ve listened to lately. Different keyboards get mixed with guitars and a variety of computer editings. Don’t be fooled – it wouldn’t fit under the electronica label or something equally artificial. The relaxed and sometimes quite pessimistic vocals, the honest and up-front lyrics and…
