In a recent post, I thought I had toured the 2007 Swedish scene. But some brilliant artists are left to be discovered, some extraordinary songs are left to be heard then to be sung…
Old Lost John is the musical project of Swedish songsmith Tomas Thunberg. After taking part in the FAWM project… composing 14 tracks in the 28 days of February, he also released his second full length sooner this year : ‘The Ghost of Calder Mountain‘. Described as “Dark americana folk with a slightly traditional touch” Thundberg has this unique ubiquity gift allowing you to fly over the mediterranean and reaching the higher plains of Montana at the same time. This guy is the meeting of two genious artists Leonard Cohen and Knut Hamsun.. Sure, many of you will ban me forever to join together such talents opposed by history. But I hope listening to the following song, Thomas recently published on his website will change your mind…
Well… Check his website, couple tracks from his FAWM performance could be download.
Olly,
have you ever checked out

Craig’s other site, plus there a ton of links to other Swedish music sites.
Hey Kevin. I’m in my acoustic mood period… I’ve found from swedesplease.net a link pointing to a collective called : Wild Gees Music. Michael Bach and Erik Mattsson had free EPs to listen to. But not enough time for the moment to seek deeper this great swedish site.
