I Have Not Mentioned Sweden For Some Time!

Despite Swedens' women knocking England out of the Womens Football Euro Championships on Saturday I am not one to hold a grudge! Especially when the musical quality is this good.
Steso Songs is one person with the singular name of Korro who hails from Malmo. She is a one women outfit and her music is electronica lo-fi via her casio keyboard and cubase software. Some of it reminds me of Compute who I have featured previously.
Steso Songs - Psychoman
Steso Songs - Be My Steso
Korro used to play in a band called 'Alien She' with Ella Glockenspiel who now records under the name of Bobby Baby. Despite looking like a refugee from Talulah Gosh her music isn't that too much twee - well not that much! The tracks I listened to were excellent, and have some similarities to Steso Songs and her vocals have a passing resemblance to Amelia Fletchers. It must be something in the water in Malmo. Please keep drinking it!
Bobby Baby - Lads Are Fun
Bobby Baby - The Some Place New
Ella has plenty of music available on her site, from different periods of her musical career so far. Well worth investigating.
You can also download some Alien She songs from the Steso Songs Site.

Here's a band from Singapore.
Ella (nee Bobby Baby) should be doing an interview for lostmusic. Soon-ish. I am not doing it. Tinkerbell is. I think it's gonna be this week. And I think Tinks is gonna want it up on Lostmusic. Sing, Sing, Sing.
