We're proud to present the second single from Pelle Carlberg’s recent album In a nutshell – Clever girls like clever boys much more than clever boys like clever girls. Besides holding the title for the longest song title in 2007, Clever Girls (etc...) perfectly showcases why it's so easy to fall in love with his mix of wry humor and catchy pop tunes.

Well, putting the massive 68-track Labrador Summer Sampler 2007 on our server didn't work quite as smoothly as we'd hoped. I don't know if we overestimated our server or underestimated the need of good music this summer. Either way, it's been taken care of now.

We're proud to present the first single from the upcoming Irene album Long Gone Since Last Summer called By Your Side. Picture Jonathan Richman and Bruce Springsteens dressed in Subway Records T-shirts, doing gospel versions of indiepop hits at a Karaoke bar and you have a slight idea what their new hit single sounds like.

Enjoy.

The waiting's finally over! On June 20, Club 8 release their first single in four years' time. And it's a beautiful comeback, we promise you that.

Whatever you want is a shimmery summer's dream. Tropicalia percussion, whistling and the catchiest tu-tu-tu this side of Brazil will make you forget you never even liked summer.

Enjoy.

Third single off the brilliant debut album The Mary Onettes.

Next year we celebrate 100 releases as Sweden's and the world's finest purveyor of pop music. This, of course, will be marked by something equally grand: an ambitious 4 CD set containing one song from every release from LAB001 onwards through never released records by Jacqueline and Los Fancy Free, via early rare out-of-print records and the digital only We made the team by The Radio Dept. to an incredible hit parade from the usual suspects.

Intended as the your only desert island record, it also sports qualitative reading in the form of a heavy booklet filled with an in-depth interview with the five Labradors by Guardian journalist Jude Rogers (who, by coincidence, called Labrador “Sweden’s most influential record label in a Guardian article), song-by-song commentary on all 100 songs, tons of Labrador related top 5 lists by Labrador artists and more.

Good music will never be boxed better.

Sambassadeur return with a new luxurious sound. Download the first single Subtle changes of the upcoming second album Migration here.

Irene are also back with a smashing song called By your side (not a Sade cover, of course). Download here.

If you can't wait until September 22, you can sneak preview the whole album Long gone since last summer here at Last.fm.
