Labrador Records is an amazing label out of Sweden, focused almost entirely on indie pop artists - most of whom sing in English. A lot of fun is to be had here - and one of my favorite current bands is published by them.I tried not to duplicate artists from YZBL's mix a week or so ago - and actually overzealously left off a couple great bands because I mistakenly thought she included them. Whoops.
- [ingenting] - Punkdroemmar
- Aerospace - The Only Things We Share
- Club 8 - Missing You
- Douglas Heart - A Question of Gender
- Edison - Sunday, Lovely Sunday
- loveninjas - I Wanna Be Like Jonny C
- Pelle Carlberg - Go to Hell, Miss Rydell

- The Mary Onettes - Void
- The Radio Dept. - Why Won't You Talk About It?

there were several songs on this mix that struck me as really bland, but here are my thoughts on the ones i enjoyed the most...
aerospace: not bad at all. it had a strong twee sensibility that i liked, yet didn't go overboard.
radio dept: i had really disliked previous songs from these guys, but this was good.
suburban kids with biblical names: the band-name had me worried, but the song was nice. it reminded me of a cross between jens lekman and architecture in helsinki, both of whom i love.
the mary onettes: pretty strong bunnymen/cure vibe in this song. i'll have to look into more of their songs.
Yay this one! I'd heard most of the bands on here, but none of the tracks. I loved the mary onettes' song, SKBN, aerospace, and sambassadors songs, but my favorite was probably actually waltz for debbie, who I hadn't heard before and reminded me of Republic era New Order with Cathy Dennis singing.
My least favorite was probably radio dept, which is odd because I usually like their stuff. :(
