So this post is not about a very recent song but it's so epic that it doesn't matter anymore. The song was released in 2007 by a Swedish techno/electro artist Familjen. There is something fascinating about the Scandinavian languages or maybe I am just fascinated because I have no idea whatsoever what he is singing about.

To be honest I don't even know what more I can say about the song except for epic. This is such a fine piece of art that I can't even label it. Probably if I had to I would have said it is electropop, but there is so much more to it. Probably the language creates the atmosphere. The video is also worth a mention: it won Grammy for the best video in Sweden. See for yourself what so special about it.

Familjen has released 4 albums so far. If I spoke Swedish I could have claimed that I know the first three by heart from listening to them non-stop. His last album Allt På Röttis was released in September 2012 is still on the agenda and hopefully is not going to be a disappointment.
