Korallreven are Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also of The Radio Dept,) two Swedish dudes making the kind of heavenly tropical pop music that Swedes seem to make so effortlessly.  We’ve been in love with them ever since they released the brilliant ‘Loved Up’ single last year on Service, so in light of them releasing a new single on the ever excellent Acephale and we asked them to make us a mix. It’s excellent, so listen to it below along with a free download of Loved Up.Here’s what they had to say about the mix;

It’s simply just some of our favourite songs at the moment, favourite songs that makes us feel the pure ecstasy of what in popular terms use to be called ”life”.
