In all seriousness, my favorite album so far this year (and of the last couple years) is Jens Lekman's "Night Falls over Kortedala." Really great, funny pop music. My favorite track is A Postcard to Nina, but I couldn't find a good video for that, so
here's another track off the record.
I also am a big fan of the Shout Out Louds that PJ mentioned above.
One more Swedish guy I discovered this year is Jose Gonzalez. Here he is covering another Swedish band, The Knife.
Heartbeats.
Sweden rules.
Edit:
This also rules.
