I can't seem to get this song out of my head, so I figure that's a good enough reason to add it to our blog. It's "Lost" by The Mary Onettes.
They are a Swedish band that first got together in 2000. After being dropped by their first two record labels and having released only one E.P. (entitled "Make Me Last"), they've landed a contract with Labrador Records. Since then, they've released the "Lost" E.P., and just recently the "Void" E.P. A full album is in the works, but I haven't heard of a release date as of yet.
Their influences include "modern rock" bands from the 80's and 90's such as The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Stone Roses. Check out their website and their page on myspace for more songs and info.

P.S. - This song also appears on the recently-released Labrador 100 compilation from Labrador Records. It's a 100-song, 4-CD box set commemorating 10 years of music from Labrador. This box set is the 100th release from the Swedish indiepop label, and contains one song from each of their past single, E.P., and album releases (plus one new song thrown in to make it an even "100"). If you're interested in buying yourself a copy, I suggest you order it directly from Labrador. It's only 200SEK (approx. 22EU or just under US$30), which includes shipping, even to the USA!. It's quite a deal for 4 CDs of fabulous tunes. My copy arrived a few days ago. =)
