Kate Tucker & the Sons of Sweden hail from the Northwest corner of Seattle, Washington, amidst the fisherman and sailors of Ballard. They play lush indie pop with sparkling melodies, shimmering soundscapes, and beats like a train on a track.
Formed in 2006, their self-titled debut was produced by Ryan Hadlock (Blonde Redhead, Metric, The Gossip), and features Nic Danielson of the Kindness Kind and Seattle folk luminary Damien Jurado.
The new album has been featured on Itunes Singer-Songwriter page and is currently on the playlists of Starbucks stores nationwide. Starbucks included “Faster Than Cars Drive” on their recent "Have You Heard" compilation and the band is also contributing a song for an upcoming Starbucks compilation.
Named a CMJ Spotlight Artist and one of 10 bands to watch in 2008 by Sound Magazine, the Sons of Sweden are taking the show on the road. The band played showcases at SXSW and Bumbershoot and continue to tour. They will be at the CMJ Music Marathon in NY this October.
