Friska Viljor

Though Daniel Johansson and Joakim Sveningsson, of Friska Viljor, may have more in common with the ubiquitous Greenpoint scab, at least by appearances alone, their songs epitomize Swedish indie pop.  The duo sings from the heart, accompanied by frenzied drums and bass, brass choruses, and a cheery glockenspiel.  Very similar to Irene, a fellow Swedish pop group, Friska Viljor excels in delightful melodies and sappy tales of love.  Enjoy!

Albums:  The Beginning of the End (2011), For New Beginnings (2009), Tour de Hearts (2008)

Tracks: Come On, Larionov, Malou, You Meant Nothing, Oh No, Old Man, Shotgun Sister
