Okay, so my love for Swedish music might seem promiscuous sometimes.  I enjoy the country’s spineless hip hop and soulless factory pop more than anyone who respects quality, probably because I value fun more than meaning.  Sonjagon has both, though.  If you’re more cerebral about music, you’d probably appreciate them, too.


Sonjagon’s debut Arches like a Radiohead album that could win a bar brawl.  (I’m almost surprised they’re the first lo fi Radiohead – I’d expect someone to have already stumbled upon this airtight premise.)  Their reviews in Sweden glow suitably, and I hear their shows are super good.  They’re definitely one of my favorite current bands.  I hope they tour the US immediately.
