Denmark
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Annika Aakjær Esthers Orkester Album 2/6/22 Singer songwriter Spotify Bbybites Don't Care… (But I Do) EP 10/6/22 Pop Spotify ICEKIID Ingen Roser Uden Torne Album 3/6/22 Hip hop Spotify Commentary: Quite the variety of styles with this month's Danish NMN contingent. It's definitely Bbybites who has caught the ears though. Rapper Martha Maj Hauptmann brings the attitude with her refreshing mix of pop and hip hop. Track “Whatever“ from her latest EP is on rotation.
Finland
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link DANTCHEV:DOMAIN The Lions We Are Album 1/6/22 Folk Bandcamp IANAI Sunir Album 10/6/22 Folk Bandcamp Commentary: IANAI's debut album really does defy genre classification, with its epic soundscapes influenced by folk music from across the globe. The talent found on “Sunir” is nothing to be sniffed at either, with guest appearances from HIM, Sisters of Mercy and Massive Attack to name a few.
Iceland
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Fjara Surfdays EP 10/6/22 Surf rock Spotify Hugrún Post-Apocalyptic Love Songs EP 23/6/22 Indie pop Spotify Una Torfa Flækt Og Týnd Og Einmana EP 10/6/22 Singer songwriter Spotify Commentary: This might become my new obsession. After unexpectedly discovering some Finnish surf rock last month, this month it's the turn of Iceland. Check out the acoustic title track from Fjara – whose name translates to beach/shore – on their brand-new EP “Surfdays”.
Norway
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Jorn Over The Horizon Radar Album 17/6/22 Hard rock href+ Khold Svartsyn Album 24/6/22 Black metal href+ Commentary: Jørn Lande is back with a new studio album, five years since 2017's “Life On Death Road”. Where “Over The Horizon Radar“ lacks in innovation or even boundary pushing, it makes up for in familiar power vocals and eleven solid melodic metal songs.
Sweden
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Bells Fell Silent The Soil And The Hammering Beat Album 3/6/22 Indie rock Bandcamp Benjamin Ingrosso Playlist Album 17/6/22 Pop href+ Big Fish Kalla Döda Drömmar Album 18/6/22 Experimental rock Spotify Darkane Inhuman Spirits Album 24/6/22 Extreme metal Spotify Iamamiwhoami Be Here Soon Album 3/6/22 Electronic Bandcamp INVSN Let The Night Love You Album 3/6/22 Post punk Bandcamp Neneh Cherry The Versions Album 10/6/22 Hip hop href+ Oscar Enestad Drömmar Album 3/6/22 Pop Spotify Seventh Wonder The Testament Album 10/6/22 Prog metal href+ Theoz Paradis EP 17/6/22 Pop Spotify Tove Styrke HARD Album 3/6/22 Pop Spotify Tungsten Bliss Album 17/6/22 Power metal Spotify Commentary: It's been thirty-three years since Neneh Cherry's debut album “Raw Like Sushi” released. Her latest album “The Versions” sees a cast of current-day female vocalists give re-workings to tracks from that seminal album and others to admittedly varying degrees of success.

Choose one album
that you love
that you think deserves more loveTell us what it is, and why.
Additional Details
What is this?
It's a new post series I'm trying out! Each month people can use the AlbumLove thread to post an album they love and explore those posted by others.
I'm planning to put up a new AlbumLove thread on the first of each month for a few months to see how these go as a trial run. If people like it we can keep it going — if they don’t it’ll fizzle out and I’ll stop.
Why AlbumLove?
In this day and age, algorithmic recommendations for music are easy to come by, and it's trivial to seek out new music that interests you by searching online. AlbumLove offers an opportunity to sift through music loved by others, including those who might have divergent tastes from you. Think of this as an opportunity to listen outside of your comfort zone, with music that you know someone else adores, from a small pool of thoughtful hand-selected options.
What do I post?
Any album that you love and that you feel deserves more appreciation. There are no restrictions on genre, year, or anything else, and nothing is “too popular” or “too niche”. If you think it needs more love — for whatever reason — then it’s welcome in AlbumLove.
Name the artist and the album, and then, most importantly, share what you love about the album. It could be the music itself, but it could also be your associations with it -- maybe the album reminds you of someone you love, or you saw the band live and got a new appreciation for the studio songs.
Also, commenting on others' recommendations is encouraged! If you love something that someone else shared, let them know!
Do I have to listen to what everyone else posts?
Nope. You don't have to listen to anything if you don't want to. This is about creating a menu of options that people can explore as they wish.
Can I post more than one album in a month?
Nope. Limit one! This helps us be more selective about what we choose, as well as preventing the threads from getting flooded with too many contributions to keep track of.
Why albums and not songs/artists?
I like albums. :)
Seriously though, I feel like it's a very different thing to like an album as a whole versus a few songs or just an artist's general vibe. I like the idea of quantizing music for appreciation in the same way we might do with books or movies.
What about EPs?
Fair game!
