If you listen to the Blandband without seeing the "å" in the title, you might think it came from a place like Athens, GA, or the Carolinas. And you would be wrong. "Pålsboda Jam", with its acoustic strings, horns, and a twangy lead singer interacting with background harmonies, comes from seven dudes in Uppsala, Sweden. Given Norway's obsession with The Rainmakers, I guess I can't be too surprised to hear Americana-esque sounds coming from Scandanavia. So far, it looks like they only have two songs, but I'll look forward to hearing more.
