Discover new music: kent – “Töntarna”

November 22, 2009Music, Videokent, music video, Single, SwedenScott Meisner

kent hails from the great land of Sweden. There they are a very popular alternative rock group. They’ve actually been around since the 90’s, but with their latest turn to indie electro-pop things are starting to heat up again for this eclectic group. EW compares them to the “likes of MGMT, Friendly Fires, Phoenix” with an electro-pop flair, and I couldn’t agree more. “Töntarna” is the first single off their forthcoming album tited Röd. It’s available for preorder at Amazon. Check ’em out!

Clock displays your energy usage; may promote it

The Energy Aware Clock shows you the time (obviously) and your energy use by way of cool visualziations on its front display. This concept device somehow wireless connects to your power meter and shows in real-time your energy consumption fluxuate with blue spikes. Although the idea itself is interesting and could work, I feel it may cause more energy consumption, at least initially, because who won’t want to show off the awesome blue visualizations, right?

The clock is created by Swedish designers Loove Broms, Karin Ehrnberger, and Sara Llstedt Hjelm and will be shown off at Design September Brussels 2009.
