Stunning new ep from Symfoniorkestern – “Tänd eld på dig själv (för det du tror på)”
I literally just got an email from Symfoniorkestern announcing a new ep about a minute ago. Since I had neglected Swedesplease for most of the day today I ran downstairs to my desktop (the laptop upstairs is too wonky for such an important post) and started typing.
