It's Too Bad You're Leaving by Elodie - Imported from Sweden by Listening Post Music
This great debut album ”It’s Too Bad You’re Leaving” is from the swedish five piece act élodie.
The press describes the music as ”lovely, minimalist Nordic pop, not too far removed from similarly female-fronted Swedish combos like Club 8 and Darcy, with nifty touches of torchy jazz and loungy exotica and the occasional splash of casual dancefloor friendliness, like Waltz for Debbie or Permer”
The first single from the album ”Maps & Squares” has been played on Swedish National Radio.

Al Hughes - One - Imported from England by Listening-Post Music
Al Hughes is a 27 year old rising new talent from Birmingham. Currently touring around the UK promoting his debut CD release - ONE - , Al is not your standard singer-songwriter. Tinges of soul, rock, blues, jazz and latin music are all evident, and his strong, soulful voice truly impresses within his maturely written songs. Citing such influences as Prince, Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon to name but a few, all these artists are hinted at in Al's music. He's not bad on the guitar either. Cross Hendrix with Joni with a pinch of Ben Harper and you're pretty much there.
His live performances are a mix of solo acoustic shows and his awesome 3 piece band. Guitar, voice, double bass and drums provide the perfect showcase for his songs, and is best described by Al as "the stripped-down-soul-sound".
