Säkert! - The lakes we skate on.
Engrossing Swedish indie. Säkert! actually released this album with her own translations of the lyrics after the Swedish version. Don't really think the character comes through. But I guess it must produce a bit of an estrangement/foreignization (Schleiermacher style) for non-Swedes. I keep coming back to this track. It makes me feel I relate to the experience of moving to the capital city from a Northern rural town and how you feel when you return there. Even though I'm patently not that person. It channels something.

Anna Ternheim - Shoreline
Ternheim is another genius song writer, this time with her interpretation of the only good song indie-phenomenon Broder Daniel produced. A heartfelt tribute to dreams, to aspirations to leave this place. For full communism.

Everything Clark touches becomes gold.
The roots - i got you - top track for ever.
4hero - always felt Two pages to be one of those really, really underrated albums. Perhaps a bit dated? Not sure, I'm going to have to listen through the whole thing tonight I guess.
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake sure was a revelation! Previously I only rememberd her for the big fish, little fish hit ... but the Let England Shake album plays in a league of its own when it comes to album that you get totally caught up in. It reminds me of a really immersive trip. A whole world of its own. The hurt of the world, the wages of history. On an autoharp.
