Sambassadeur is a Swedish quartet that just released their third album European (Due out Feb 23rd on Labrador Records). I've been listening to their songs on MySpace, and they've got a lot of potential! Check out the description from their press release and their MySpace and see if you are enjoying it as much as I am.
“Sambassadeur's Anna Persson sings softly and fluidly, favoring held notes that sound like they might dissipate into the music around her. Her voice often seems more typical of shoegaze or introverted folk than 1980s-cribbing pop, but she strikes the right note of dreaminess and cool drama in Sambassadeur's songs.”

“The Swedes have birthed yet another unique and lovely pop music child."
-Pop Matters
"Sambassadeur’s sound has evolved with each release, while their older recordings had a more aggressive sound, reminiscent of Jesus and Mary Chain, their music now conjures reminders of bands like Camera Obscura and Belle & Sebastian. European is the album that demonstrates the true talent of Sambassadeur. The foursome, along with the addition of a string quartet, three drummers, a saxophone player, clarinetist, and more, has created a unique style that will be sure to gain fans of all music tastes across the world."
