Swedish Kids with Great Band Names

I'm not the first to mention these guys, and I feel a bit cheap only doing so after Pitchfork gives a respectable review to one of their tracks, but that's just how it is. A name like Suburban Kids with Biblical Names sticks with you. You know if you've heard of them. There's very little middle ground. You don't sort of remember someone mentioning a band with a name that great. It's stuck in there.

Anyway. Swedes are on top of the world. Literally and musically. These guys are Jens meets the Kings of Convenience, but with even more Stephin Merrittness. There's not much room between those three, so you should have a good idea what to expect.

Here's the video for Rent a Wreck:

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home.
