Labrador's latest signing is a precocious talent from Stockholm, Sweden. Amanda Mair, all of 16, was picked up by the label when they discovered her by chance in 2010. Her second single "Doubt" just popped today, and I am absolutely smitten by the song, and really impressed by her level of maturity. "Doubt" is a smart tune, achingly modern with a dose of girlish charm mixed into the fold.
Her debut single "House", on the other hand, starts off as a piano-driven song before it culminates in an emotive, triumphant pop song. I absolutely can't wait to hear her album.

Anti-folk pioneer Jeffrey Lewis returns with A Turn In The Dream-Songs. On "Cult Boyfriend", the first track off the album, Lewis' wit and dry humour shine through. It's cute to hear the man poke fun of himself.
