Labrador Summer Sampler 2007

Labrador is a fairly big indie label in Sweden, and many of its bands (Acid House Kings, The Radio Dept.) enjoy a significant level of popularity both within and outside of their home country. That being said, there are some comparatively undiscovered gems-of-bands releasing stuff on Labrador (Ronderlin, Afraid of Stairs) as well. In any case, the label is giving away a four part compilation to heighten your enjoyment of summertime.

Many of these songs will be familiar to anyone who is already a Labrador fan, but I think the compilation still serves a purpose in that it forces us to listen to every band on the Label, instead of picking a choosing what's been recommended over and over again. Who knows, we might discover a new favourite.
