MUSEUM OF BELLAS ARTES' BEATLESS MIXTAPE

Ever since they released that transcendent cover of The Sapphires "Who Do You Love?" fans of mysterious Swedish bands who sound like St. Etienne (and that's a large group) have been obsessing about Museum of Bellas Artes. After a long wait, they recently released their second song, announced their first live show (London in November) and have now made their first mixtape and given it to us.

Because they're Swedish and coy, they were a bit nervous of what London and New York's cool, young elite would make of it: "I'm not sure what they will think of it," said Leo Öhman of the band. "I have a feeling they want something hip, but I felt like people need to hear something else. So, instead I made something of a beatless mixtape."
