If You Like Lykke Li, CocoRosie & Jens Lekman...





...then it's time to shout Taxi! Taxi!

Miriam & Johanna, an adorable Swedish duo nonetheless, have released their first full-length album, Still Standing At Your Back Door, and it is nothing short of satisfying. I had heard a few of their songs in the past, but nothing really caught my attention aside from the clever name and Swede-appeal.

Yes, of course they're Swedish. The country is basically synonymous with amazing music. This album is most perfect for the Fall season, all snug in your warm winter coats while making your way from A to B.

Kings of Leon: Fashion Designers







French designers, Surface to Air, has teamed up with Kings Of Leon to release a limited edition clothing line. The clothing and accessories will go on sale exclusively at the Paris Texas shop in Copenhagen beginning early December.

Visit ParisTexas to view the rest of the collection and for pricing information.

The whole "X" collaboration thing is getting a little exhausting, but I suppose there's no kewlerrr way of saying it.

Leighton Meester Joins Weezer






Leighton Meester joined Weezer on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York this past Saturday for a special performance of their new single "(If You're Wondering if I Want You To) I Want You To" off their new album Raditude.

I was never a big of Weezer, but this reconfirms it. I just don't even know what to say other than that I strongly believe Rivers Cuomo must have swiped the journal of a 6th grader for lyrical inspiration of every song on the album. My secondhand embarrassment runneth over.

Shannyn Sossamon Stars in New Sea Wolf Video





Sea Wolf has just unleashed their new video for "Wicked Blood" featuring a makeshift play gone awry with mummies, skeletons, witches, wizards, and Shannyn Sossamon waking up in a cemetery and being chased through a forest. All very appropriate and just in time for Halloween, which I still have not decided on a costume for.

On November 6, the band will also be participating in a special Twilight: New Moon event at the Hollywood & Highland complex in Los Angeles. The event will feature special performances from Sea Wolf, Death Cab For Cutie, Anya Marina and Band of Skulls. A Q&A with select cast members will also follow.

White Water, White Bloom is available now courtesy of Dangerbird Records.

Persona Sauna's 666th Post: Halloween Mixes : HELL-O-DAY & HELL-O-NIGHT

Even more appropriate, this is my 666th post! HOW CRAZY IS THAT, Y'ALL?!?

If You Like The Knife, Ladytron & Anna Ternheim...




...then you might like The Tiny. For the past three or four years, I have been making my way over to The Tiny's MySpace to listen to their Swedish sounds because I could never find it available anywhere online. Their music is rather specific to a certain listener and not for everyone, but you can easily come to appreciate the sweet, vulnerable vocals of singer Ellekari.

This new video is for The Tiny's first single "Last Weekend" from their new album Gravity & Grace, which was directed by Jacob Mohlin.

They just got back from Iceland and the Airwaves festival after releasing the album, which was produced by former Talk Talk bassist Paul Webb, in Sweden on their own label and in Portugal through Deadly inc Sounds.

The rest of the world will have to wait a little while longer for a release (details soon), but since there's this pretty little thing called Internet, you can now order the album directly from The Tiny's webshop from wherever you are.

Lady Gaga Short Fashion Film for Dazed & Confused





Lady Gaga believes in a glamorous life, and she also lives one, according to this video at least.

Dazed Digital premiered an exclusive short film of sorts featuring Lady Gaga and shot by fashion filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson. Set to classical piano sounds composed by Gaga, it was filmed during rehearsals for her London shows and showcases her love of fashion, naturally.

Fever Ray - Stranger Than Kindness Video





You know when it gets to the point where you don't need to write anything about an artist because you're just that obsessed?





Marina & The Diamonds - Mowgli's Road Video & Remix




The latest video from Marina & the Diamonds, directed by the Chris Sweeny who has also made videos for Friendly Fires, is now out.

It sort of makes me feel uncomfortable watching her stretchy paper limbs moving in all which ways.

I think my brain is just rejecting the possibility of it, especially since the death of Stretch Armstrong and Inspector Gadget.
