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!

New Music Nordics – Album and EP releases for May 2022

Denmark
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Jada Elements Album 20/5/22 Pop lnk.tt Junkyard Drive Electric Love Album 13/5/22 Hard rock Bandcamp Lucer The New World Album 20/5/22 Hard rock Bandcamp Modest Friend Album 6/5/22 Indie rock Bandcamp Pil Kom Vi Flyver, Siger Du Album 13/5/22 Electropop Spotify Sonic Girl Confessions Album 23/5/22 Pop Spotify Commentary: A rock heavy selection coming out of Denmark for this month. So in typical fashion, I'm gonna skip over the generic guitar riffs and angsty lyrics this May and focus instead on the crisp pop voice of Sonic Girl. The track “hackerboy” is worth a listen just for the shoehorning in of antivirus and IP addresses!
Finland
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link I Am The Night While The Gods Are Sleeping Album 6/5/22 Black metal Bandcamp Madboiali 22 Album 27/5/22 Hip hop Spotify Mary Ann Hawkins Mary Ann Hawkins Album 20/5/22 Surf rock Bandcamp Commentary: Where Denmark failed with rock, Finland might just have delighted this month. The country is synonymous with death metal, so imagine my surprise to find a source of surf rock in the band Mary Ann Hawkins. Their track “Hawkinsmania” is an espresso shot of frenetiscism.
Iceland
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Bear The Ant Unconscious EP 26/5/22 Psychedelic pop Spotify LÓN Thankfully Distracted Album 15/5/22 Rock Spotify NEVERNEVER Glorious EP 11/5/22 Alternative rock Spotify Commentary: Iceland is a small place, with 366,000 people and counting, so sometimes pickings are low. But they do say quality over quantity, and that's what we have here. The names behind NEVERNEVER have some real pedigree in the music industry and are led by the strong vocals of Klara Elias.
Norway
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Humle Døgnvill Album 20/5/22 Pop Spotify Sigrid How To Let Go Album 6/5/22 Pop href+ TrollfesT Flamingo Overlord Album 27/5/22 Folk metal Bandcamp Commentary: In April Norway took the crown for the month's biggest and best release with Röyksopp's newest. They've done it again! Sigrid's follow-up to her debut album, “How To Let Go” is a real banger, with stand-out track “Mirror” destined for summer playlists all across the Nordics.
Sweden
Artist Title Format Released Genre Link Bjorn Rydhog New Day Coming EP 20/5/22 Pop SoundCloud Friska Viljor Don't Save The Last Dance Album 13/5/22 Indie Rock Spotify Jens Lekman The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom Album 4/5/22 Baroque pop href+ Jireel MOTY Album 6/5/22 Rap Spotify Karakou Via Dolorosa Album 13/5/22 Pop Spotify Lykke Li EYEYE Album 20/5/22 Indie pop Bandcamp Miynt Lonely Beach Album 6/5/22 Experimental pop Bandcamp Olof Wallberg We Album 27/5/22 Indie pop Spotify Omar Rudberg OMR Album 27/5/22 Pop Spotify Omni Of Halos Care Free EP 20/5/22 Rock SoundCloud Orkan Livsgaranti Album 13/5/22 Prog rock Spotify Paula Jivén The Duality In Me EP 6/5/22 Pop Spotify Sahara Hotnights Love In Times Of Low Expectations Album 6/5/22 Rock Spotify Svart Ridå 18 Minuter Av Ditt Liv EP 13/5/22 Experimental pop SoundCloud Tusse Happiness Before Love EP 20/5/22 Pop Spotify Vero Unsoothing Interior Album 6/5/22 Indie rock Bandcamp Commentary: Four years since the previous album, it's great to have Lykke Li back. “EYEYE” is a brutally melancholic album, with heart-felt lyrics taking centre stage. Margaret Farrell at Pitchfork had this to say: ‘Her music is a companion to sorrow in the same way the sun is a companion to the morning.’
