Pelle Carlberg - "Go to hell, Miss Rydell"

Along with The National, Swedish singer/songwriter Pelle Carlberg is the second of my favourite finds this year.

The bitter tale of responding to a bad review, “Go to hell, Miss Rydell” makes great listening for those with a Belle and Sebastian or Kings of Convenience bent. The album “Everything. Now!” is just superb – while the music may sound light, the lyrics are far from lightweight. There’s some real sadness/venom/longing in there. Powerful stuff.

Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins

To kick off the inaugural ‘Found Sounds’ podcast, how about some Jenny Lewis? Known for her work in Rilo Kiley and The Postal Service, Jenny teams up the Watson Twins for her solo debut (does it still count as a solo album? hmmm) for a mellow country flavoured affair. Dreamy!
