So Nordic Music Review is back from a Summer break, and the good news is that we are definitely back for good after a bumpy few months. This week we have a musical feast of album reviews, brand new singles and a fabulous interview lined up, but it's Sunday so we get to write about one of our favourite Non Nordic bands, and today we're delighted to introduce The Nature Centre. These guys are from Birmingham, UK and they write an entertaining blend of music that can't entirely

So here's something different to brighten up your Sunday, and it's a track from the Indonesian Indie Folk band 'Psychotic Villager' which popped up in our Inbox a few weeks ago.

Behind 'World End’s Girlfriend’ is the Japanese musician 'Katsuhiko Madea', and I love this because it fuses together classical, rock and maybe some Japanese influences t

So to switch things around slightly we'll be breaking up the week by offering the occasional non Nordic song on a Sunday, but the proviso has to be that any bands / artists featured will have to true indie musicians, not signed to any bigger labels. 'Fanclub' are a brand new band from Austin, Texas, and they write a brand of cute indie pop which reminds me of bands like 'The School', but they undoubtedly have a shoegaze leaning too, listing bands such as 'Ride' and the excell
