RToTw 226: DunDun (Malmö, Sweden) “This Time I Know For Sure” (2013). Psychedelic, sludgy, droning indie pop. Dirty, layered guitars, floaty ethereal vocals and cello with effect pedals, bringing a wall of noise no one could resist. @ChristineOwman #indie https://t.co/Z1H31rw5mD

@SPIN And if you want me to elaborate on that, I'm right here.

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

@SPIN Honestly, none.

RToTw126: That's Retro Track. @theradiodept (Lund, Sweden) "A Window" (2006). Moody, muted, melancholic, dreampop. Saw these guys live so many times back in the day. Always stunning. Not sure they're still out there? Last heard from: 2020. #dreampop https://t.co/kOggUgE5Jk

Going to do a retro-track of the week-ish thingie, to celebrate the brilliant bands we grew up with that I'm guessing a lot of you have never heard of/about. Some are still around! So keep them eyes and ears peeled.😀

@IWood74 @swervedriver @UndrgroundArts @IgnorelandRadio Brilliant. Last time I saw them live was right here in town, chatted with them afterwards and showed Steve and Adam the misprint of Slowdive's debut CD (which actually contained Raise) which blew their minds. Memories memories. :D

ToTw 1526: Kallsup (Örebro, Sweden) “Chimär (GBG)”. Swedish indie done well. Expertly staying on the fringe of the “Kent”-trap, bringing their own sound. Jangly guitars, The Cure feels. Adding to the classic Swedish indie sound. Good. #indie @varorecords https://t.co/HLZMdrKbng

@pitchfork And End. That End. Such a brilliant and powerful way to end the album. Especially after Impossible Things which shattered you and broke you down into pieces. Pure Cure.

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

@pitchfork Overlooked my a**.. it's a classic! I don't mind Friday, it's un-Cure-like and way to happy sure, but the rest of the album is pure Cure. To Wish Impossible Things and Edge of the Deep Green Sea are some of my favourite songs of all time.

ToTw 1426: Sylvie's Head (Gothenburg, Sweden) "Burning Spear". Psychedelic Manchester. Slow, laid back and swoony. Shimmering guitars with a beat and swagger to match. Striped t-shirts, shades and a general unapologetic demeanor. Good. #indie #manchester https://t.co/0wy5RK4JY6

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 1326: Atomic Fruit with "Medicine". Ok they’re based in Berlin, but theres’s a Swede in there! Psychedelic, alternative and electronic. Soft, cozy, jangly, good. @LeaPorcelain mixed with @genuineverve https://t.co/tzku0R7CQK

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 1226: @Brknchord (Lithuania) "MKUltra Scarecrow". Been a few years, last seen here three years ago. Still brilliant, still slow, sludgy and heavy, head nodding brill psychedelic rock with a swanky manchester beat. Love this. #indie #lithuania https://t.co/0QzLc6hXx1

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 1126: @colleaguesmusic (SE) with "Weekend". Laid back French/Danish indie-feels of the highest order. Reminds me so of the brilliant danish Palace Winter. And I love those guys. Brilliant. #indie https://t.co/eGuRElN4sz

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

ToTw 1026: @Starhorsemusic (SE) “Never, never”. A runner-up 7 years ago. They're really back? I can’t believe it?! Star gazing, shimmering and glimmering guitars, ethereal vocals. Just like they used to sound like. Tears in my eyes. #indie #shoegaze https://t.co/oY5pMjjSYl

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

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

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

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

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

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

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

@Spotify Jahrund.

[Scandinavian Indie @Scanindie]

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.
