SCANDINAVIAN ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2010
Champion of Swedish pop that uplifts us and makes himself known on the first play: an ironic lyrics, fast rhythms, ringing guitar arpeggios, arrangements lovingly filled with abundant strings, winds , handclapping and everything, but handicraft production in the details and especially a well-kept cars overflowing with enthusiasm and engaging. Motorcycle
daydream, Norwegian pop 
e Dancing under influence
potrebbero essere inni ufficiali di tutto l’indie-pop nordico (e non solo). 
e Dancing under influence 2. Jonsi - Go In libertà (provvisoria) dai suoi Sigur Ros, Jonsi ha dedicato tutto il 2010 al suo primo album solista e ad un lungo tour mondiale.
Go parte dal medesimo stile scenografico e suggestivo che ha reso celebre la band islandese in tutto il mondo, incentrato sulla sua preziosa voce da folletto nordico, ma asciuga le canzoni nella durata e nelle divagazioni strumentali e le rende degli oggetti pop curiosi e scintillanti, elaboratissime scatole magiche da cui scaturiscono Torrential hour carillon electronic and sampled sounds, now infused with dramatic wide melodic emotionalism, spreading around a sweeping charge and joyful community so far (almost) unknown to the repertoire of the SR, the result of a talent that can innovate and find new ways without abandoning their roots.
Facit
Among the many Scandinavian musicians from America and bewitched by his folk-blues tradition, Kristian Matsson is at the same time the more reserved and more passionate. Shy enough to hide behind the moniker TTMOE; passionate as his songs, which seem to sprout directly from the dusty lands of the Midwest, as the thick soft acoustic guitar arpeggios and spontaneously at the same time naive, clinging to his insistence, Dylan's voice. The second feature of Matssonnon can no longer count on the effect of onset surprise, but it flies high from first to last moment. To combine an EP
Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird.
First Aid Kit - The Big Black & The Blue
There Nothing could be further from the trial, new sounds, etc.. the music of the Swedish two young sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg: folk songs that have a sweet and reassuring the Anglo-Saxon tradition, surrounded by a few acoustic guitars and other instruments especially two female voices that blend in perfect harmony. The freshness of songs like I met up with a king
el'emozionante simple ballads like Waltz for Richard
surprising maturity and balance even after a hundred plays.
6. Nóra -
Er einhver to hlusta? Nora Icelanders are (for now) a small well-hidden treasure Scandinavian index. Their first album, sung entirely in linga mother, says with a surprising maturity and great creativity
in the wake of a pop-rock sounding very "Canadian" energetic, melodic, soft and edgy at the same time, capable of mighty crescendo pop, moments of lightness and impressionistic paintings more dark and ambitious.

Sambassadeur - European
Partiti quasi in sordina, cinque anni fa, con un album fatto di delicati colori pastello e passati attraverso un secondo disco bello e vagamente interlocutorio, con la forza del passaparola i Sambassadeur sono diventati un punto fermo e imprescindibile dell’indie svedese e con European 
alzano il tiro e rivestono la loro innata leggiadria melodica con arrangiamenti sgargianti, Pop con la P maiuscola, dalle fondamenta ritmiche fino allo sgargiante wall of sound spectoriano di archi e sinth che riempie ogni possibile vuoto sonoro. Eccessivi? Sopra le righe? Forse, ma con una manciata di canzoni di classe sopraffina.

The first album by Danish band that recorded for the California Matinèe is a real blow to the heart for any fan of British pop-rock opera and more refined (Smiths and true followers, for instance). Stefan Larsen and associates take us into a world of romantic songs from the aura and pleasantly démodé, reliving the noble roots (not just Morrissey, but the C86 and Sarah Records) of that style that made history as the Brit- pop.
Ólöf
Arnalds
- Innundir Skinn Devoted to write a minimalist folk, roots styles such as Anglo-American native, the blonde Icelandic singer / songwriter has developed an ambitious album (there is also a guest in a Bjork song) and yet very balanced, covering instrumentally his songs and immediately after stripping naked to timeless magic of (his) voice and the acoustics of the arpeggio. Nine songs of unusual beauty and undeniable.
Seconds
Depositary, already in the name of the band, a style of spring melodies and dense guitar jangle jingle, the Swedes The Electric Pop Group have gone on with dall'autoproduzione a contract with the Matinèe Records. The ten songs
Seconds
have the gentle sparkle of the best indie-pop brand of Scandinavian retro polite, soft and bright in every fold, pleasant and sly.

Kissaway Trail - Mountain Sleep At the second album, the Danish Kissaway Trail draws on all their ambition and build a mighty hard and complex rock structure, the colors pop, indie nuances, perfectly tuned to the frequencies of the international alternative scene, a little 'Death Cab For Cutie and a bit' Arcade Fire (but not really look at the bottom either). Rhythmic muscle, instrumental variety, songs and melodies Anthemius, producing well-kept, all in the name of a communicative power overwhelming and impressive.
And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Dakness
between classical and contemporary post rock, it moves by several years the young Icelandic musician Olafur Arnalds, author of compositions and melancholy night of romance, which now seem to have found their light catharsis. Piano and orchestra, sometimes enhanced by rock instruments, three-quarters of an hour of cinematic beauty.
