Those frozen Swedish landscapes have a habit of producing some of the best synth-pop around, and The Blind (facebook/twitter) are the latest of that heritage to grace us with their delicate, soulful and warming sounds. They’ve got their debut album, Rivers, coming out this August – with a sound found in the digital back-and-forth between Martin Santti and his cousin Niclas Hallgren.

We’ve got the first couple of songs from their debut today in Safe Tracks with its driving beat, and the softer almost folktronica-twinged A Million Miles. Grab them both for free from The Blind’s Bandcamp.
