ToTw 826: Lene 3000 (NO) "Body Language". Ethereal. Dreamy. Synth-based, gothic, full of retro-vibes. Darkwave perhaps. In any case it’s brittle, melancholic, powerful and very pretty. Once you’ve experienced Lene, you won’t forget it. #indie #darkwave https://t.co/bnziGdibeb

Seriously guys, this is one of the best songs I've heard for a long long time. Nothing comes close. Any objection?

ToTw 726: 100% consensus this week. Not going out on a limb saying Boy With Apple (Gothenburg, Sweden) is our #1 indie/shoegaze hope right now. Jangly, twisted, skewed, ethereal. Aussie feels. DIIV, Alvvays and Embassy? Mostly DIIV right? #indie #shoegaze https://t.co/lTespreWou

@Spotify Jahrund.

ToTw 826: Once again it's Sweden's Boy With Apple, with "Outside My Window". The whole album, Navigation, is brilliant. Jangly skewed guitars, ethereal vocals, alarming guitar walls. Space-exploring bliss. https://t.co/O8bbMmPhEM #indie #shoegaze

@madchester_mdcr What's VOGUE's take?

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

@MusicPills10 One of the greatest bands of all time.

@coleraineyid @FarOutMag That's the thing. And 5 is just too few. Reading through answers here just makes me say "oh yeah.. that should be in there, that should be in there, that...." Can't believe I left out the Cure in my list for example, but tomorrow they'll be in there. :D

@Tim_Burgess Can't tell you how many times we played this song at the local uni club. Requested at least once every single night.

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 626: @makthaverskan69 “Shatter” (Gothenburg, Sweden). Noisy indie with that charming GBG sound, melting my heart. Real and honest. Mixed with classic 60s Spotnicks, it works. With AI taking over, this is what we need. Real. https://t.co/ANa0Q6tC5P #indie #sweden

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary It's just silly it's been 13 years. Time flies.

ToTw 526: Coming back to Ea Othilde (Oslo, Norway) once again with "I Will Not Be Like That". Effect pedals firmly on. That brill PJ Harvey feel. Explosive guitar wall bliss mixed with ethereal soft vocal sections. What the doctor ordered. Yummy! #indie https://t.co/60LzFz1gSC

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 426: Ea Othilde (Oslo, Norway) with "Florence". Soft airy vocals, muted, on the edge of turning artsy but just as you think that they twist and turn into brilliant noisy indie rock. Love what they do here. Looking forward to see these guys live.https://t.co/xaqAI9MdRY #indie

Happy Easter! I'm adding all the songs submitted to us to this playlist in case you want to follow it. Every song submitted is in there even if it's not getting enough votes for a track of the week. https://t.co/bpJy3vohMx

Rome Is Not A Town (Gothenburg, Sweden) “The Breeze”. So much talent here, so many influences. Noise/surf/artsy/indie/alt. Every song is a whole new experience. There’s no “RINAT sound”. Puzzing, but you’re not going to be bored. https://t.co/j5pN2qpcBi #indie #AlternativeMusic

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

Continuing '26 with some live footage of Svart Ridå from Ronneby, Sweden. Gig here tonight and I recorded some of it. Brilliant and sold out show. These guys won't be "small" for long. https://t.co/siQ74Vq80G #indie #Sweden

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

Starting 2026 with Boy With Apple from Sweden. Not on X, no video. So Swedish. You can tell. But also brilliant. Jangly guitars, ethereal vocals, thumping bass, shimmering stars. Close to that sweet Aussie shoegaze feel, almost. https://t.co/L2viMppVXs #indie #shoegaze #Sweden

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw: Ok it's Oslo, NO again. Jangly ethereal and noisy just-what-I-need right now prettiness. With just enough grunt to make it happen. You know what I mean? Early in their careers but with this talent, there’s no stopping them. Excellent. #indie #norway https://t.co/OzPJ0mwu11
