Where would we be without our Swedish indie pop? This updates contender is Hari And Aino with their new 7" on Cloudberry called 'A Considerate Kind Of Home'. As ever with the Cloudberry label you get exactly what you expect and that's some sweet style indie pop. Those of you who like it twee and Swedish (Tweedish) will love this sucker. C86 jangle pop which is so innocent sounding it makes me feel guilty. The chorus is ludicrously catchy as well as after the 2nd listen I already can't get it out of my head. Nice sleeve too!!

Hari and Aino consits of four boys and one girl from Stockholm Sweden. With the intention of writing pop
songs with focus on the melodies the band started out around christmas 2006. With a a single out on
Cloudberry and a album out on Plastilina Records the hunt for the perfect pop song continues in 2009.
Hari and Aino is: Andrea Dahlkild, Pontus Leander, Kristoffer Rengfors, Robert Klaesson and Gunnar
Jacobsson.
Following the release of their debut LP this past Summer, Hari and Aino, are soon to deliver their second
release for Cloudberry Records – and this time it's on vinyl! The single, with fantastic cover artwork
from Amy Ruppel, features "A Considerate Kind of Home" b/w "Maple". "A Considerate Kind of Home" is up for free download right now over at Cloudberry HQ, and I can't stop listening to it! It's nothing too new, per
se, but then – when you're Hari and Aino and you make indiepop this sweet – why change? The song's got a
fun, dance-y bassline along with the usual suspects: jangly guitar, infectious melodies, and Andrea's
swoonsome vocal delivery.
I posted on Hari and Aino in August of last year, and at the time their name suggested that they were a
duo, something that I pretty much ran with without any kind of concrete confirmation. Well, I ended up
being completely wrong as this Stockholm-based band are actually a five-piece. Since their initial 3" on
Cloudberry Records, they happened to release their self-titled debut earlier in the year on Plastilina
Records, and simply put, it’s about as good as you can get for a debut indiepop record - you know, if
jangling guitars and sweet female lead vocals are your thing.
The band are back with their soon to be second release on the aforementioned Cloudberry label, a 7"
vinyl single called “A Considerate Kind of Home.” Obviously, the formula hasn’t changed here, as it’s a
pop song that just puts a smile on your face. Here’s the song below for your listening pleasure, along
with four tracks from their debult LP that have been made available for download.
