[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ere comes another wave of Swedish electro pop, and this one is led by Kate Boy and NONONO. The former is a trio comprised of vocalist Stina Wappling, and a production duo called Astma & Rocwell, who all hooked up just last year after the vocalist returned from her studies in the UK. “Pumpin Blood” might have been released in the spring, but it’s a modern Top 40 pop threat that already seems destined for October playlists. There’s nothing scary about it, but blood flows any way it wants.

[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ONONO are a Swedish trio based in Stockholm, consisting of production team Astma & Rocwell (whose credits include Bebe Black, Benny Banks Icona Pop) and singer/songwriting talents of Stina Wäppling. Meeting through a mutual friend, the three formed NONONO during the spring of 2012; around the time Stina returned from the UK where she had spent three years studying to be a psychologist. The sound could be described as Urban-Indie. Melancholy yet hopeful with a bassy beat oriented foundation.
