Vapnet

Label: Hybris
Genre: Pop

Swedish is a beautiful language, quiet as it might be kept. With it's rolling "r"'s, tonality and it's quirky idioms (i.e. "not for all the milk in Småland", which is meant to say that there are a lot of cows in the Småland region and many Swedes who would rather not do many things, not even for all the milk those crazy Småland cows make). But I digress. The point is that for all the Swedish exports that we here in the states are receiving -- not nearly enough of them are sung in the nation's mother tongue. Enter Vapnet--with all the same poppy, magical goodness of their Swedish-made but English-speaking brethren, but with all the pluck and grace of the oft-maligned Swedish language. Where Peter, Bjorn and John might say " Vapnet? Very good!", Vapnet says (with pride) bara bra! Finally, we at the 'Hive can't always find you a download of our very favorite songs (oh how we try), but I would highly recommend a visit to the Vapnet myspace page where you can find a brand new track featuring the lovely Mr. Jens Lekman.
