Scandinavian Indie

ToTw 826: Once again it's Sweden's Boy With Apple, with "Outside My Window". The whole album, Navigation, is brilliant. Jangly skewed guitars, ethereal vocals, alarming guitar walls. Space-exploring bliss. youtube.com/watch?v=ooM-Td… #indie #shoegaze

@madchester_mdcr What's VOGUE's take?

The Stone Roses – Fools Gold – Top of the Pops, 1989 A band at the height of their powers, beaming the Madchester spirit into living rooms across Britain and turning Thursday night telly into a cultural reset. The soundtrack of a city that refused to sleep. #Madchester

@MusicPills10 One of the greatest bands of all time.

Is Dave Gahan up there with Freddie Mercury in being one of the BEST vocalists AND frontmen of ALL time? #DepecheMode

ToTw 726: 100% consensus this week. Not going out on a limb saying Boy With Apple (Gothenburg, Sweden) is our #1 indie/shoegaze hope right now. Jangly, twisted, skewed, ethereal. Aussie feels. DIIV, Alvvays and Embassy? Mostly DIIV right? #indie #shoegaze youtube.com/watch?v=vLmsL0…

@coleraineyid @FarOutMag That's the thing. And 5 is just too few. Reading through answers here just makes me say "oh yeah.. that should be in there, that should be in there, that...." Can't believe I left out the Cure in my list for example, but tomorrow they'll be in there. :D

@FarOutMag The Stone Roses David Bowie- Low Leftfield- Leftism Van Morrison- Astral Weeks Stevie Wonder- Songs in the Key of Life But let’s face it. That list would be different tomorrow

If you could only keep 5 albums forever, which ones make the cut? 🙌💿

@FarOutMag 1. Anything with @DavidBowieReal 2. Paranoid with @BlackSabbath 3. Some Great Reward - @depechemode 4. Upstairs at Eric's - @yazooinfo 5. Just For a Day - @slowdiveband

@Tim_Burgess Can't tell you how many times we played this song at the local uni club. Requested at least once every single night.

The Only One I Know. Release on this day 14th of May 1990

ToTw 626: @makthaverskan69 “Shatter” (Gothenburg, Sweden). Noisy indie with that charming GBG sound, melting my heart. Real and honest. Mixed with classic 60s Spotnicks, it works. With AI taking over, this is what we need. Real. youtu.be/_C1jPP8fu4k?si… #indie #sweden

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary It's just silly it's been 13 years. Time flies.

ToTw 526: Coming back to Ea Othilde (Oslo, Norway) once again with "I Will Not Be Like That". Effect pedals firmly on. That brill PJ Harvey feel. Explosive guitar wall bliss mixed with ethereal soft vocal sections. What the doctor ordered. Yummy! #indie youtu.be/MkzrKEjSqX0?si…

ToTw 426: Ea Othilde (Oslo, Norway) with "Florence". Soft airy vocals, muted, on the edge of turning artsy but just as you think that they twist and turn into brilliant noisy indie rock. Love what they do here. Looking forward to see these guys live.youtu.be/ATQSf9BBK78?si… #indie

@Tim_Burgess If I could be there.... I'd love..... The Only One I Know Sproston Green North Country Boy Then Judas I Never Want An Easy Life...

What songs are we wanting to hear? Bangers, classic, deep cuts and everything in between. What are you saying???

Happy Easter! I'm adding all the songs submitted to us to this playlist in case you want to follow it. Every song submitted is in there even if it's not getting enough votes for a track of the week. open.spotify.com/playlist/11C3g…

Rome Is Not A Town (Gothenburg, Sweden) “The Breeze”. So much talent here, so many influences. Noise/surf/artsy/indie/alt. Every song is a whole new experience. There’s no “RINAT sound”. Puzzing, but you’re not going to be bored. youtu.be/H6rtWboFQjQ?si… #indie #AlternativeMusic

Continuing '26 with some live footage of Svart Ridå from Ronneby, Sweden. Gig here tonight and I recorded some of it. Brilliant and sold out show. These guys won't be "small" for long. youtu.be/HFLgDi28vmM?si… #indie #Sweden

Starting 2026 with Boy With Apple from Sweden. Not on X, no video. So Swedish. You can tell. But also brilliant. Jangly guitars, ethereal vocals, thumping bass, shimmering stars. Close to that sweet Aussie shoegaze feel, almost. open.spotify.com/track/03Nldygu… #indie #shoegaze #Sweden

ToTw: Ok it's Oslo, NO again. Jangly ethereal and noisy just-what-I-need right now prettiness. With just enough grunt to make it happen. You know what I mean? Early in their careers but with this talent, there’s no stopping them. Excellent. #indie #norway futurenostalgia.bandcamp.com/track/draumer
