Eardrums was a blog I started following before I ever realized there thousands of other music blogs out there. I have always been a big fan of music coming from Scandanavian/Nordic countries and this is one of the best blogs out there for those songs, along with plenty of other stuff too. What is especially awesome about Eardrums is that they are a music blog turned net label. So they actually collaborate with artists and create amazing mixes (all available for free) all with the purpose of promoting bands and getting their names out in the open to a wider audience. Once a month they release free singles and come the fall they will start doing this twice a month, on top of their seasonal releases. There are a handful of nordic writers working for the site all connected by a love of warm melodic indie rock. If that is your thing you absolutely must check out this site. On their label's site they have a bunch of compilations that you can download right away. Below is a selection of songs that I have found and loved via their site.
Let's Whisper - All Happy Endings
If there was ever a song for Amazon's kindle this is it. If you liked the Little & Ashley song, this will be right up your alley.
Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck - The Divine Comedy
Hexicon - Narissa I Won't
The Electones - The Huntress
Jacob Borshand and Cake on Cake - Summer Will Have Its Way
Swim Lessons - Afternoon Tea
Did you notice the new media player? I am excited to have finally figured it out. Click the play button to play, the songs will play as a playlist. Now to download songs you just need to right click and select download (for macs: ctrl + click select download linked file). Happy listening.
