Back From The Dead
Hello MusicEdge fans! It sure has been a while. I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue posting on this blog, but I missed it oh so much. I graduated from my masters of journalism program in the spring, and I spent the summer in Traverse City interning for Traverse Magazine. Now I’m in Ann Arbor full time working on a bunch of web projects and a new internship with Ingenex Digital Marketing.
I don’t have a ton of time to work on this blog right now, but I will at least post a “Song of the Week,” essentially what song, album, or band is stuck in my head at the current moment. Thanks to fancy Web 2.0 technology, I’ll even be able to embed an MP3 player right in the post.
Today’s song is “City” by Lo-Fi-Fnk, a synth pop band (to be extremely brief) from the current indie music hotbed of Planet Earth: Stockholm, Sweden. For those of you who have followed Swedish indie rock and electronica over the past few years, their music won’t sound terribly alien. There are elements of The Tough Alliance, The Knife, and The Radio Dept., as well as non-Swedes like Crystal Castles and Cut Copy.
Thanks to Jeff Meador for the lead! Stay tuned for more new music, concert previews, and album and show reviews.
